Today, I woke up to my husband saying "WHOA" as he opened the front door. So of course, I smiled to myself knowing exactly what that meant, snow. Hooray I thought! Hooray for some bright natural light to practice and experiment with. But, it was a blizzard outside, and I do not DARE take my camera out in that, so I practiced through Braxton's bedroom window. It was really fun to finally let the camera take in all the natural light it could. All of this pictures I had my ISO on the lowest setting. I practiced with the exposure compensation button (kinda fun), allowing some pictures to be more exposed then others. Most of the shutter speeds for pictures were taken at somewhere between 1/80-1/125. It was fun to finally NOT have to use a flash, and let the camera do the work. Here is what I came up with through the window.
(these are not RAW images, a few touch ups to help out with light was needed.)
So this afternoon, I went slightly "picture" crazy and could not stop snapping photos. Braxton was even slightly cooperating! I opened up our back window only to find MORE snow and thought..."ooooo something to photograph!"
So, I whipped out my camera, and played around with my scene settings. I took the snow pictures on the snow/beach setting, and then I played around with the silhouette setting with Braxton. Most all of the pictures of Braxton, I HARDLY touched up, some of them I didn't even touch. This was a really fun setting to photograph with and I got to play around with some color too.
