This was an attempt of a silhouette. I put the setting on M, for manual. I knew that would make the picture darker, but it only halfway silhouetted. For an idea of how to make a silhouette, look in the 4-H Guide to Digital Photography, Page 156. It’s a great book by Daniel Johnson.
Unusual, but cute.
My 5 year old sister Anna is getting interested in photography, as well.(My guess is that she just wants to be like me.) She does take unusual pictures, like this red box, but she takes great ones, too. I took this one laying on the ground.
What is aperture?!?!
I took this picture with the setting Av, which is the setting for aperture. (Aperture is the thing that blurs your photo’s in the background.) I zoomed up on her face, and put her off to the side, so I could use aperture in the background.
Anna was walking through the little path in between the garage and fence, so I zoomed up on her face. I love this picture!
Picking Leaves
One day we were bagging leaves and afterwards, Anna thought she could reach the leaf in the tree. Dad picked her up, but by the time I got the camera ready, they were done. I hated to ask them to go back and do it again because I like things to be natural, but I did it anyway. And now this is one of my favorite pictures!
Josh’s Top
Josh had been playing with his top, and I had the camera out. I shot two or three pics of him with his top. I love this picture, because there’s no noise, but the light centered on he table instead of the toy.
Annie and the Shovel
I have new photos! Check them out here:
At about 6:00pm Anna and I went out and I snapped some pics of her with the snow, but this is my favorite out of all of them.
