Shadows

Ok, I didn't say this was going to be easy, now did I?

Geez, I thought it was going to be simpleton snapping shots in the daylight. But our daylight was actually at 7:30pm so i was fighting the shadows for these shots. The first two are great!!!!! Nice and blurring in the background with Tayshaun nice and clear in the foreground. The only thing is that it looks like Tayshaun's doing a cheer or something but he's actually hanging from the tricky bars. Guess I should have taken a step back. Remember this is Yvette's version of Digital Photos for Dummies. I haven't quite mastered Ansel Adams' Photography style.... yet.

The last two shots have shadows in Tayshaun's face and I had to use Nikon's software to edit. If I had photoshop, I'd have been able to clear the shadows without over-exposing. This is an example of not knowing how to use the best camera settings yet. I really wished it had been earlier in the day because these bike shots are really cute.

Tayshaun is already sick of taking photos so I had to spring the camera on him when he wasn't expecting it....thus I captured the "Aww Mom, do you have that dang camera out again???!!!" look. Hehehehehehe
