Doing my Homework

"Don't feed someone your cooking till you've tasted it yourself" seems to apply to photography.  So this is practice for black and white portraits before asking anyone else to model for me.  I'm getting so many ideas!

Yup, I totally know what I'm doing.

 

 

After the Spring Rain

 I am so happy with these photos!  I will be adding some more later, but for now here are some of my favorites.


 

The Teddy Bear Shoot

     I've gotten a little more interested in taking black and white portraits, for which my teddy graciously posed for as I played around with shading and lighting.
 

 

And the cat who actually held still

      Just discovered this feature in Paint, when you cut a portion of a picture and "copy to" you can change the "type".  I think it's great on people shots, definitely having fun with this one.
