Shaila's Week Eight

Week Eight: Capturing Action

I was more interested in trying out panning, so most of my pictures are of me trying it out.

Malcolm in action at his t-ball game.
1/320 8.0 ISO-800As I was watching my neighbors kids we played some t-ball. I of course got shots of the bat and ball blurred, but this is my favorite. Quinn started swinging, and somehow ended up falling. I love how it captured his fall!
1/100 10.0 ISO-100One of the pictures Matt really liked.
1/100 20.0 ISO-200
1/15 18.0 ISO-200
I think this is my favorite!
1/60 13.0 ISO-200
1/60 13.0 ISO-200
Another that Matt liked.
1/100 10.0 ISO-200

Yeah, I can't sleep. I guess Reed heard us talking and he woke up and would not be consoled without eating. So now here I am, wide awake. Ugh. Anyway...

I LOVE the one of Malcolm on the slide. Amazing photo! I love that the lines are diagonal and drawing your eye down. It actually feels like you are watching him go down the slide. Fabulous Lou!!

Quinn falling is hilarious. You described it perfectly. It was exactly how I envisioned it.

And the last photo is great too. I love the colors this time of year and that tree is a gorgeous green. Great job Lou. I love them all!!

And maybe I should note that the 'running' photos of Milo were a last minute attempt. I'm pretty sure that's obvious but still, :). The kids home all day has been great for laid back days but my creative time has been busted! I want it back....

lol....sorry Shaila, I'm a blog stalker. Actually, I was looking for a way to contact you and saw that you had another blog and stumbled here...hope you don't mind--I'm always up for some photography stuff. lol, and I'm sorry, I don't think I know you Melanie but hello! Ya'll can tell me to sod off if you'd like. lol. Anyways, I wanted to email you about a couple of photography forums that I participate in where I learned everything. Let me know if either of you are interested--they're some great girls who know their stuff. Participation is required, but we all have kids so totally understand that it's tough to be on a lot of the time. tristateeter@gmail.com Keep up the great work ladies!!

P.S. Love your panning Shaila! I just don't have a steady enough hand. And the nature shots are great as well!! I suck at those--Russ takes better ones than I do! lol.
