A PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND
Post 149 - 4/29/08 - Happy Mother's Day to me - EARLY!!!
Well, I asked my 3 men to indulge me in a photo shoot for Mother's Day. They had asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and this was it!!!
Tonight after work we went to our little park and took some shots. Yes, Rick, I know this is not in sharp focus, err uhh...this is my soft focus shot!!! {thanks everyone ;-)} AND I like the shot. I made it into Black and White since it wasn't very sharp.
I have to admit, I was really nervous to do this "shoot". I didn't want my family to be impatient with me and I so wanted the shots to come out well. I understand better that it is hard to come up with interesting poses and a variety of poses. Fortunately as we started taking more shots, my sons started getting a little silly and then it was a little looser and more natural. Because the light was getting low and I had a higher ISO the shots are more grainy than I wanted. This is actually a second post for the day, but I was too excited to finally have a shot of my three men together. My sons have endured me taking their pictures so much over the years that they have really been reluctant to pose any more. This was a joy for me that were were together for a few nights again while my older son was visiting and that they indulged me for an hour to take pictures. We all had some great laughs at the slideshow of all of them as there were some really funny shots. This will be a gallery that I will treasure as my Mother's Day gift for 2008 and can enjoy it for a long time to come.
Now I need to find a class for portrait photography!!!
