Annabelle wanted a picture of what she built with the blocks. I like her pose and the framing, but there is too much going on in the rest of the photo.
I love Joseph's pose in this, but, once again, there is too much extra activity.
I wanted to photography this pretty clump of flowers. This was the best photo of several, but I'd probably want to edit out some of the edges. It's not exceptionally interesting either.
In order to get all of Annabelle in the frame, I had to take this photo at a different angle. I really like how it turned out, though. It looks almost like she's walking up a wall and emphasizes the struggle that the climb was for her.
I just love her pose in this one.
Another shot of her trying to climb the hill that I really like.
I love the sunlight and the way it's hitting them. This photo just makes me happy.
This has interesting lighting as well.
This was the only shot where they are all at least sort of looking/smiling. I think I could have gotten something better if I'd gone for more shots.
This did not turn out how I wanted, and all of my other attempts came out with a blurry flower.
I like the framing of this and how it all comes together.
Not so much on this one...
This was an interesting dandelion plant to me, but the photo isn't as interesting.
I wanted to zoom in on just one of the tiny flowers, but my camera couldn't handle that and this is the best I came out with.
This was just a quick shot taken at lunch, but I like the way it came out.
Later in the afternoon, I was feeling pretty discouraged and disappointed about trying to do photography because I realized that I can't do any of the projects in the photography book since my camera doesn't have manual settings. I tried playing with some of the settings on my phone's camera, but it usually just makes things looks really yellow. I almost wanted to give up, but after some thinking (and a nap), I realized that I can just focus on some of the principles Mitchell has talked to me about: framing, composition, and story.
