Keeping it simple today.
It is Saturday after all...
ahh.. a day to sleep in and then take a nap later ( if you don't have kids...if you do, then you might have been up at 5am, like me.) A day to act like a cat, no responsibilities, (if you don't have kids) with lots of eating and napping... the life of a college student. Or a baby. Yeah, probably more like a newborn baby. I'm jealous, but only about the napping part, not the other newborn baby stuff.
Day 4.. perfume ad:

My version:
Stats: 70mm, 1/320, f/ 2.8
Light:... ALL Natural! I actually waited till the sun came up and did this outside using BEAUTIFUL natural morning light!!! BEST LIGHT EVER!! The pic is a little dark, maybe a tad underexposed. It was cold, but morning light and evening light are the BEST for outdoor pictures. I was hoping it would be a little more "warm" IN the picture, but because I shoot RAW, it tends to be a little less bright than JPEG.
I love photography.
I love it and therefore, I know one day I will be amazing at it.
Until then, I practice, practice, study, read, learn from my mistakes, learn from others, learn from other's mistakes, and click away.
Growing in photography is sometimes like an GOOD OLD SONG. You know.... when a grrrrrrrrrreat song comes on the radio.
One of your classic favs.
You love it.
YOU LOVE THIS SONG!
You crank up the speakers in your car.
And BLAST IT!
You sing along at the top of your lungs and jam along.
You sing confidently.
You sing confidently, even though you aren't positive on the EXACT wording of the song.
But, you sing along, just the same.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
I GUESS it rains down in Africa?........
I PRESS the rains down in Africa?....
I BLESS the rains down in Africa?...
I CHASE the rains down in Africa?
WHICH ONE IS IT?? DARN! IF I COULD ONLY understand what the heck TOTO is singing!!!
But, it doesn't stop me from belting it out when I'm cruising in the minivan down the I-84. Eventually, I'll remember to Google it or a friend will embarrassingly correct me... but I'll get it right, one day.
Photography is like that song. Sometimes. Especially in the beginning. Sometimes you don't know the exact combination of light to use, or how much flash/light power to use and where to place it.... but you lift your chin up, crank up the speakers and confidently click along, knowing... eventually you'll get it.
Have a beautiful Saturday!
"Look yourself in the mirror today.
Look in your eyes. Love them. They are beautiful.
They are the window to your soul.
Smile, you are a beautiful soul."
loveya,
loveya,
Peace.noelle.love.smiles.and.laughter.in.Africa.
