Portrait
Ok, for this week, our main project is to turn in a single portrait. That doesn't mean only shoot one shot and turn it in. Play around with it and really take the best portrait you possibly can. Here's an example for you. Only shoot from the waist up and fill the frame. Pay attention to the background and make sure it's not cluttered. Look out for leopard lighting. Also, be sure to take the portrait in the shade, NOT in direct sunlight. The background should not be in sunlight either or it will be all blown out. In this picture of Rheagan I took at the park today, I had her lean up against a tree and that was in shade and I used another tree that was in shade as the background. It's out of focus because it was far away and I was using a telephoto at about 150mm. See how it helps separate her from the background so you can focus on what is important... her! Have fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
This is the regular challenge so it's part of the homework. But have fun with it and get creative. The view should look at your photo and get really really hungry! ;o)
Here's my photo. I'm actually now eating the sucker as I type this (well, I can't let a good sucker go to waist!!!) And it IS delicious!!! LOL
The speed challenge will come later in the week.
Happy Shooting!!!
