Then I wasn't happy with the results and did it again today. I am so very glad we re took the photos. I love the results from the second session! Oops forgot to say... These are NOT SOOC. I did a little bit of curves adjusting. And they are 100% natural light.          And just for comparison here are a couple from the first session...   10:06 PM - Oct. 30, 2009 - comments {4} - post commentGot in my Background StandBut it was the darkest day possible...

12:23 AM - Oct. 20, 2009 - comments {0} - post commentYou Capture/Technology-Farmers SunsetWe have a farmer who is helping us maintain our field since we don't have the equipment. Had some fun capturing them. Isn't it amazing how quickly a farmer can prepare a field now. Just imagine how long it would have taken with a horse and plow. To see more captures head over to Beth's. 9:47 PM - Oct. 19, 2009 - comments {7} - post commentMy first Maternity Shoot (Practice)It was to sunny but I think they came out ok for a quick 5 minute shoot.This is one of my dearest and best friends who is expecting her 6th.

So it was time for a photo shoot!  And I realize this isn't red, but pink is just red with a little bit of white. :) 
10:34 PM - Oct. 6, 2009 - comments {17} - post commentYou Capture/FallThe trees are barely changing color in Kansas yet. I have no fall decorations up. But then I remembered my little patch of Golden Rod near our field. So I decided to go during the twilight hour and see if I could get anything.  Getting covered from the waist down in 100's of stickers.... Definetely Worth it! 
8:29 PM - Sep. 29, 2009 - comments {11} - post commentYou Capture/MacroThis is a clock that my oldest son is making. It is very close to being done, but it doesn't stay running quite yet. But I love it's look and the shadows it casts. I tried to use my reversing ring but you basically have to have hign noon sun to get any kind of photos with it. And I had time to take the pictures at night.I used my 50 mm and then cropped in in Photo Impact.  And here's a full view.  Go see what everyone else posted for their Captures at Beths.

12:46 PM - Sep. 15, 2009 - comments {0} - post commentYou Capture/ Something you have never capturedWell I am a bit embarrased to say I have not known how to use the light meter on my camera. I have been shooting in manuel for months but was totally doing exposure by eye. I would take a picture, check it on the screen and then change settings accordingly. Well this week I am working on reading Bryan Peterson's book on Understanding Exposure and this is the challenge he had for us. Taking the same picture at different apertures and setting the lighting with the meter. I used a tripod for this experiment. (I will add my settings later after supper)       To see what everyone else comes up with go to Beth's site.

1:01 AM - Sep. 3, 2009 - comments {10} - post commentYou Capture/Old SignsThis was actually a lot of fun. They are hiding everywhere. Unfortunately a lot are 1/2 covered by a modern sign.First ones I found were a grain elevator (not sooc, tweeked a little)  Then I made it to Main Street.  I have always liked this one and think that thing on top looks like a robot!  And this is a old theater that is still up and running.  I just love old buildings. Why can't we build them like this anymore?  (this is not sooc I played a little) This was next to this theater. And across the street. (not sooc either) But these are 2 of my favorite old signs. In the little town I live in. From the history I have found the partner to Cooper Hardware lived in my house many many years ago. This building is about all I know about him. I hear he was a bachelor.   Go see more You Capture Signs at Beth's. 12:47 AM - Sep. 3, 2009 - comments {12} - post commentMy First Paying Photo ShootShe is paying me a casserole/Meal. I get more practice and a night off of cooking. Works for me! This was her favorite one.   I should have gotten her knees in it more.  Attempt at black and white. She didn't really want it b and w so I didn't go into Andrea's tutorial and try to do it right. You have to be a member of www.ilovephotography.com to view it. 8:16 PM - Aug. 20, 2009 - comments {0} - post commentYou Capture/You First I tried a standard photo. But they were almost all totally blurry. I saw this idea on popphoto but after several shots I decided I was being a bad example to my children.Plus I didn't want to mess up my bed. LOL (please ignore my bad cloning on the wall)  So then my children and I had some fun with the remote and trying to capture some jumping and fun! LOL See more You capture self photos here. 11:20 PM - Aug. 5, 2009 - comments {17} - post comment
