#OurProject52 – Negative Space

Negative space isn’t something that comes naturally to me when I take photos. This is probably because I like closeups so much.  I’d much rather take fill my frame with the subject, than leave empty space, so this was a great exercise for me. I’ve been doing a lot of book photography lately for my…

#OurProject52 – Silhouette

Silhouettes are some of my favorite photos, though I’ve hardly ever taken them myself. Actually, never, except on accident. So, I was very happy to see Everyday Eyecandy’s tips on how to shoot them. For the purposes of this week’s challenge, I took a photo very similar to the one LaShawn took for this challenge-…

#OurProject52 – Framed

Once again, this is a catch up post for #OurProject52. It seems that after I slacked off on the Motherhood challenge, it became a lot easier to keep slacking off.  But the #OurProject52 challenge is something I really do want to keep doing, so I’m making myself go back and do all of the ones…

#OurProject52 – Motherhood

I managed to skip out on a few weeks of posting my #OurProject52 photos, mostly because I’m a slacker, but the main reason was that I didn’t manage to take any photos with fit the motherhood theme for the May 14th challenge. Not being a mother myself, taking photos that relate to motherhood was a…

#NaBloPoMo – Secret Shot

I love taking photos of people when they don’t realize it. I think this comes from the fact that I used to hate having my photo taken, and some people I know still do.  That means it’s easier to catch a smile when people don’t know I’m taking a photo. And have you noticed how…

#NaBloPoMo – Light

As an amateur photographer, light is something I struggle with.  My indoor photos are often yellow, and if it’s sunny, my outdoor photos can look washed out. Fortunately, I recently read part of the manual for my camera and discovered how “scenes” settings on my camera works. It’s helped me a lot. Does your camera…

#NaBloPoMo – Say Cheese!

Do you feel like your smile is more honest when you’re taking a selfie or when someone else is taking your photo?  For me, I feel like my smiles are more honest when I don’t have someone in front of me telling me to “Say Cheese!” Of course, if I’m comfortable with my photographer, we’re…

#NaBloPoMo – Take My Picture

Since I like to share my fashion choices in my instagram feed, I’m often asking Julie, my office mate to take photos of me. It’s something I don’t mind to ask her to do, since she sometimes asks me to do the same thing. How do you feel about asking other people to take photos…

#OurProject52 – Black and White

I love black and white photography. My digital camera even takes photos in black and white, though I’ve never used that feature of the camera. I haven’t actually shot in black and white since high school when I did it with real black and white film. Because of that, when I do black and white,…
