Photography Practice

Have fallen off the wagon a bit. Need inspiration to get back on track. What shooting location are we going to next?

Nita - Assignment 13

OK - we are almost done with the lessons on MorgueFile. Up to #8 as we continue to explore studio lighting. You don't realise how good the professional version of these photos are until you try to do it yourself without the same equipment. Here is a reminder of what the lesson covered... http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Jodie_Coston:_Lesson_8

Not overwhelmed with any of my photos, but here are a couple.

Portrait photography....hmmm, harder than it looks seeing as lighting is so important. I tried the technique of taking photos of my subject in the shade for these first couple of shots as it was such a sunny day this morning. Jag doesn't overly enjoy having his photo taken and will tend to run off when I get the camera out.

This backend is SOOOO loved! How can I resist not photographing it when he presents it to me when I get the camera out.

Not the most ideal light for this one - but liked the idea of photographing Jag in his 'environment' as he patrolled his territory along our back wall.

Have fallen a bit behind with our photography lessons. Supposed to be posting portrait photos but I haven't read or started to practice those yet. Here are the photos for the "Nature" lesson that I took a week and a half ago up in King's Park.

We found this Ashby's Banksia plant really interesting how all on the one plant it seemed to have flowers in all different stages. So below is my photo series of those stages.....

It's wildflower season & the wildflower festival at Kings Park. I ran out of batteries - but love some of the results - I just couldn't pick - so there's too many here & more on my other blog probably:
