Cornbeans

 

Anna was playing with those little brown “buds”, and it was just sooo cute! I lay down on the ground. I’m pretty sure I took this with the setting Av. (Aperture)  I think it looks professional when she’s off to the side.

Note: Anna calls the brown “buds”  cornbeans.

Natural smiles

I love this picture, because Anna is really laughing. It sort of did aperture, as you can see in the background, and the lighting is pretty good. There’s at least enough light to see what’s happening.

Silhouettes

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.

Zoom Up!!!

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 the 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.
