The Classics

This is the type of picture I call the classics. They are the classics because its one of those pictures you have seen a thousand times but a little different every time. Well one reason to take a "Classic" is so that you can see if you can imitate the type of photography you want if you are not quite sure what you are doing, I don't suggest doing it that much, because you don't want to tread to close to copying. Another reason is to see if you can take a classic and make it your style. I chose to take it because it simple and fun, and something I can easily do again, I plan to take the same picture next year and see the improvements or style changes I have made.                                                          The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together. -Saadi                                                      thanks for reading, hope you enjoy.

                                            

Sarah's Sweet Sixteen

This is Sarah, I got the wonderful opportunity to take pictures of her in her beautiful dress. She looks like Elsa from the movie Frozen. She even did her hair too look like queen Elsa braid.

We had some time to take some pictures outside which is what I always prefer, and it was a perfect day because it was warm but not too hot, and  there was light cloud cover giving me the perfect amount of light to work with. It also helps that her smile is so perfect! 

I still am loving black and white, I had to have one out of the 4 I posted today to be in black and white. I think that this picture in the black and white makes her eyes pop out more, that would also have to do with her make up, which she did a good job on. 
  

I am still using my friends lens, that I am going to have to do some research in seeing how much they cost because it works rather nicely, for the type of photography I like. 

This picture was taken inside while getting ready. let me just say I love her heels! I would love to wear heels but I cant for I am a tall girl.

In the house the lighting wasn't the best to I had to use some "fake light" as my friend would call it, meaning I boosted up the ISO a little higher so that the camera can account for the lack of lighting in the room. Just be careful when you do this not to forget your settings are on that because when you go outside and forget about it your pictures are white, (and yes that was a mistake I did make ha ha, luckily I caught early on)

In this photo I hyped up the shutter speed to capture the movement of her dress frozen in the picture. Moving the ISO up a touch to balance the quick shutter speed. I did that because if you were to just put the shutter speed up the picture would be dark because the faster the shutter speed the less light comes into the camera, meaning you should put some camera "fake light" in to balance everything.


photography Tip: Play around with your ISO and Shutter speed.  Find different setting that you would normally use, maybe you will find something you like better, and don't settle for an okay picture keep trying for something you can be proud of.
