Shaila's Week Four

I was not that creative at all! I don't feel like a had a whole lot of chances to try. Plus not really any will subjects. Oh well...it's a learning process, that maybe someday I can do better at! I also forget to change my ISO a lot. That would probably help with better photos!

Challenge 1: Use fill flash to "pop" colors on a gray day.
Well I didn't have a chance to find a subject that was "colorful", so this was the best I got.

No flash, 1/200 14.0 ISO-1600 With Flash, 1/200 14.0 ISO-1600

Challenge 2:Use fill flash to eliminate dark shadows on the face on a bright day.

No flash, 1/250 7.1 ISO-100

With Flash, 1/200 7.1 ISO-100

Challenge 3: Use fill flash to combat backlighting on a shadowed subject.
I asked Malcolm to stop to take this picture. I loved how he posed!

No flash, 1/125 16.0 ISO-100

Week Four. Mel

I was so glad we had a cloudy day last Mon. It was perfect. Of course Kat was the best willing participant. Aren't her teeth a crack up? Milo told her she better get her new teeth soon or she would have to 'gum' her food all summer, ha! I did get the boys to play along, but not for long. Obviously they are in the second set of photos, :). Not a huge difference in them but I still they their feet are cute. I wish Reed's feet were in it. I didn't change my WB to cloudy and wish I would have.

#1.

1/640 3.5 ISO 80 (I think this should have been higher)

1/500 3.5 ISO 80 w/ flash (I love, love her blue eyes here!)

1/640 5.0 ISO 400

1/500 5.0 ISO 400 w/ flash

#2
Basically I tried to rush through this on Sat and I'm not too happy with the results (overexposed and not great set up). I didn't have my WB set to Day Light (which makes a huge difference) and I didn't change my aperture. Grr. Both the batteries and Kat died out less than 10 minutes into the outing at Japanese Gardens so this is it. Maybe next time I shouldn't try and work with Kat in 100+ degree weather!!

1/800 3.5 ISO 80

1/500 3.5 ISO 80 w/ flash

#3
Once again, I rushed though it late Saturday afternoon and didn't like anything I took. Why am I always having to take more time?

Dang, I am whiny tonight. Sorry about that!!
