Photostory!

Hey everyone, I decided to do my photostory on Grocery Shopping and although a very simple topic, I had a lot of fun doing this and have a hard time narrowing down my photos to use.Just to let you know, I also found out that you are not supposed to take pictures of people at registers so I had to skip that step, so I took a picture of the receipt in place of it.  Let me know your thoughts. :)

Portraits!

This week when taking portrait photos, I probably took 25 of them at least. I had some problems taking them. When I went out to take them a few problems I had was that it was very windy so that it made hair blow in many different directions so it was hard to get a good picture. The other problem I had was shadows. I took many photos that had shadows from many other objects shadows in them even though it was still really sunny. The last problem I had was that it was so sunny sometimes that it would blind my subject I was taking pictures of and her eyes would appear shut even though they were partly open.I had to take some extra time to solve these problems. I would wait until the wind died down or I would have the person stand with the wind blowing against them. I also would take pictures with the sun behind the person or have the person count to three with their eyes closed and then at three take the picture when they opened their eyes. I also would have to position the person and take the picture so a shadow would not get in the way including my own shadow. I had a lot of fun taking different types of portrait pictures. I took some close up, some sitting, standing, in a tree, and some others as well. This was fun experimenting with portrait photos.
