What I learned This Week

Vacations are great! Especially when your spending time with family. I also learned It is possible to take great shots during the middle of the day. I've been using spot metering for a while now thanks to Courtney . Spot metering saves you when you don't have perfect lighting. I always meter off the subjects face

This picture was taken in the middle of the day but thanks to spot metering her face is properly exposed.

This shot was taken in the middle of the day in the shade. I think I have serious eyelash envy.

This shot was taken during the "sweet" hours before sunset. Even though she's not smiling I love her innocent expression...and the fact that she was covered in dirt and looks like a homeless child.

Even during the mid morning you can get beautiful rays of sunlight that make your subject glow. I just found a nice shady spot and having beautiful subjects like these sisters helps.

My girls and their Grandma, isn't their Gramdma just beautiful!

Both these photos were shot around 11:00am.

If you have to shoot in the middle of the day find some shade. We found a huge beautiful tree to shoot under and I adjusted my White Balance to shade. I love this picture of my parents. It will probably be one of my favorites forever.

Last of all, my little cutie patooties. Even though they don't have huge smiles on their faces there is just something captivating about this picture.
