Homework # 1 From John Norling + Other Adventures in Photography

Homework #1 From John Norling's School of Photography Excellence, was to take a portrait shoot of my wife (he seems to be very specific about my subjects :-) ) He asked that I use the light from a window to add depth to Michelle's face with a some shadowing effects.  I think I let too much light come in.  In a few shoots I tried using the flash to see what would happen, but it looks like it washed out the picture a little.  I think I did okay on the first, ninth and eleventh head shot. But I'll have to update the blog once my teacher gives me a grade. My view... I think I got a B, I feel like there was too much light, but we will see what the pro gives me.

















I guess Michelle has been getting bored being around the house.  She had some fun with the camera while I was still at school








Fun mode that Michelle found on the Camera

Can you see the Birds? I was trying to follow them in flight with my 4 pictures a second setting





No??? It's Okay if you couldn't see them. Maybe next  time I'll find larger subjects

I hope that it is okay that I pointed my camera at the sun.  I figured this would be worse with a film camera

No flash means no blind baby or mad Mama


BYU-OSU game this past Saturday.  
The new camera takes some nice self portraits.  The only problem is the weight of the 
camera.  Michelle's hand would shake as she held the camera to take one of us.
We gave our camera to one of the ladies sitting behind us to snap a picture of us. Sadly she never clicked the button down all the way so even though she said that she took 3 pictures of us.  She really took ZERO!






My First attempt at Sports photography... I'm No Luke Hansen
I either need a bigger lens or better seats. 







It was a fun yet sad game in the end

  1. Or field level access. That always helps those sports photos.
