At the park . . .

It was an impromptu thing, our photo shoot at the park, but I left with some images that capture the fun and smiles of my three younger siblings.  Meet the gang . . .

P.S. I played around with my watermark recently and am wondering, what do you think?

Our Crabapple

Often times, at this point in the year, when I step through the sliding glass doors opening up onto our back patio, I am met by the site of this lovely crabapple tree . . .

I think it looks like a tree that belongs in a fairy tale.  It's dripping with gorgeous pinkness.

I hope you're having a wonderful week and soaking up this beautiful spring!

Maximilian: 3 Month Portrait Session

Pet portraiture wasn't really a genre I had considered when I first started photography. But I have to admit, capturing all this cute fuzziness isn't so bad. :)  I will warn you though, if you're a fellow photographer beware, cause these little guys can be way unpredictable, very wiggly, and oh . . . super cute.

This is a favorite :)

Maximilian: 3 Month Portraits - Preview

You may remember Maximilian from a post I did on him not that long ago at 8 weeks old.  I'll tell you he's just as cute now as he was then, though he is twice as rambunctious, I might add.

As a stud for breeding, Maximilian's puppy days are being carefully documented in order to show perspective buyers of his offspring what he was like as a puppy.  Anyway, I think he's pretty cute and he's got to be some of the best 2-plus-lbs. of fluff to cuddle in the region.

 

Stay tuned for more!

Rhythm, we have it in music and we have it in photography.  Today however, we're only concerned with photography. :)

What is rhythm?  I like to think of it as repetition or a constant/repeating pattern.

Why is it important?  It directs the viewers eye to focus on a specific point, usually this is the horizon line or the point were the pattern disappears or fades into infinity creating visual stimulation.

Conclusion.  Finding rhythm/pattern can be a lot of fun and can really enhance a photo. Once you start looking for it I'm sure you'll find it all around you.  May I suggest you grab your camera, keep your eyes open for rhythm/pattern, and start snapping?  You won't regret it.

P.S. Remember, it doesn't matter what camera you have, this technique works for everyone.  Just look at the pictures below, taken with a Nikon Coolpix about four to five years ago.
