I took my camera to school yesterday.. I don't know why, I just grabbed it on the way out. 250 photos and many laughing-until-crying moments later, I'm so glad I did! My friend Jen and I got out in the sun and found a really cool tree. We tried some Anne Geddes baby poses (didn't go so well. Maybe because we're not babies? I may post some of those another time if I get brave lol), practiced our climbing skills, and Jen did an *awesome* faceplant into the ground below. I completely failed that moment though, I didn't get a picture or catch her! Ugh. She didn't like the idea of recreating it though. Too bad. We went to the tree twice, once around 3pm in full sun, and again around 6:30 right before sunset. The lighting wasn't great either time, and there are harsh shadows and distracting things in the background. But I totally don't care, I really love these. I wish I'd had my 30mm with me though, it's sharper and I needed the wider angle. CC on how to do better next time would be great though!
I hope you like these are much as I do. Jen is an awesome subject, and sooo much fun, so hopefully you'll be seeing lots more of her :) And she didn't do too bad with the camera herself, I'm actually including a picture of myself in here! Yikes.. At least now you'll be able to imagine me. Thanks Jen!!!
Sorry for the obnoxious watermark. I've decided with recent events that it's better to be safe than sorry...
