I love both of these pictures. So far they are my absolute favorite. The one above reminds me of the movie Pride and Prejudice and running through fields of grass with the sun beaming around you.
The one below is a rooster/hen (i'm not sure which one it is). I decided to go to the duck pond in Eagle River and take a few pictures. This rooster/hen came up behind me and when I turned around it freaked me out!
I went to the studio at the time Dan told me to and it turned out that he forgot I was coming tonight. He didn't have much prepared, so we looked at the pictures I had taken last week. He noticed in my pictures that I needed to fix my aperture, lighting, and focus. I took his criticism as a way to better my photography ability. I agree with everything he told me to fix. I learned that it is better to not take pictures when the sun is high in the sky because it makes pictures too bright. I had taken a picture of a daisy in the afternoon and he put it on Photoshop to show me that it was too white. There wasn't a way to really fix the brightness because it was way too overexposed. He also taught me that my camera is a 3.5-5.6 lens and that that is where the aperture goes from: 3.5-5.6. At the end of the time he gave me 3 books, and a photography magazine to read. They are about composition and the rule of thirds. Overall, I thought that my first time was enjoyable. I'm really excited to do this mentorship with Dan, I know (or hope) that I'll learn a lot with him.
