A photo shoot with Allison

 One of the reasons that I did not perform my promised posting last Thursday was because I attended two classes one photography at our library.  Yes, two classes.  Three hours of my life.

It was worth it.

The instructor gave a lot of great tips, including how to use natural lighting to the best advantage.  In class, I thought I got the concept.  However, I wanted to put some of it into practice before I forgot it all, so I asked Allison if she would let me photograph her the next day.

Photo shoots can be painful, but she very kindly agreed to do it.

Apparently, I did not get the concept as well as I thought.  I kept getting weird shadows.  (See the photo above and the one directly below)

Then I remembered that he said you don't want a lot of contrast...  I tried shooting in more muted light.

I got a few that I really liked....

Isn't she beautiful?

Of course, with as long as it took me to figure out what I was doing, the craziness had set in...

Yeah, we'll just blame it on me.

This time.  ;)

I hope you like blue eyes...

She's still rather adorable...

Oh, and see the glint in her eyes?  That's what I was going for.  :)

Thank you, sis, for your patience!  I am super pleased.

Now, I am on the lookout for my next victim...  bwahaha  ;)
