Sneak Peek Revealed: Photography Workshop

Before I get to the photos I'm going to bore some of you with the nitty gritty details of the workshop. This is for all of you who wanted to know what we learned!

For those of you who don't know, Scott Jarvie held a contest where the winners would attend a free weekend photography workshop. I won a spot in the workshop! The theme of the workshop was Attractions/Distractions. The first part of the day Jarvie went through several things that attracted people to a photo and several things that distracted inside of a photo. There were a few things I already knew and a lot that I needed a refresher course on. It was perfect! If you want my notes on that click here.

After lunch we had a sort of Q&A session that talked mostly about flash. Most of the people in attendance were looking to get into more flash photography so we spent a good deal on the topic.

After Q&A we were off to shoot! We began in a dark parking garage. My camera/lens do not bode well with low light so I ended up using one of Jarvie's Nikons. I spent the first hour flustered over getting to know how his camera worked. It wasn't until we submerged from the low light that I figured out how Nikons functioned. Unfortunately, my chance to work with models/flash equipment was over. We spent the rest of the night taking photos. Jarvie came around and would give us hints and help us along with a new way to frame a photo.

Without further ado, here are some photos from the day!










This was actually a mistake that I ended up saving in PS.
Lucky save me thinks =)

Sneak Peek x's TWO!!

I finally reveal what I learned from the photography workshop!

This time I won't take a year to post my reveals.

My Boy


Okay so he's not MY boy, that's just what my uncle used to call him. My brother wanted me to take some photos a few months ago (*cough*back in April*cough*). Luckily I didn't edit them because they weren't needed. Anywho, as I was taking them he said, "I want to know what I'd look like with blue eyes. Can you give me blue eyes?!" Okay. My family has an obdiction to blue eyes. The second he said it I pushed him against this wall and started taking photos that focused on his eyes. Luckily I got the catch light and made his poo-colored eyes shine!!! Et voila!! This is what you'd look like with blue eyes Bafum!!

Looks a little Memoirs of a Geisha-esque, no?

I'll have a few more from this photo session in a few. Sans the Geisha eyes.

Photos Revealed: Photos of BABY JANE!!!

Baby Jane is already the world's most spoiled girl. I don't think she's spent very much time NOT being held. She's got clothes galore and is the apple of just about EVERYONE'S eye! Hopefully by posting this my mom and brother will stop nagging at me to get them up! [update: the nagging still hasn't stopped my mom now wants me to give her all the photos so she can print them *sigh* She'd better be this excited when I procreate!!]


Jane's HILARIOUS burping faces

The proud grandparents
(HAPPY MOM?!?!?!)

HAPPY JORDAN?!?!?!

Jane Likes to be burped ^__^

My normal photographic
subject was feeling a bit neglected.
She decided to model for me anyway.

The finer details.

The End.
(I couldn't help myself sorry)

Thanks and goodbye!
