Portraiture. Possibly something I require more and more work with the more I study. Its only been one day and I'm already having trouble with the technique, but at least today's gorgeous little model will always look adorable no matter what. A round of applause please for my little sister Emma please!
Now aside from her being one of the cutest little things ever, I am having trouble getting a clear picture. I don't know why, just yet, because I haven't entered into the settings study yet, but I did what I hear is right. Lots of light so that you don't need flash, but... still very fuzzy.
Now the book I have studied from, 'A complete guide to digital photography' and all the sites I have visited, claim that if you crop out parts of the face other than the eye, then you will be alright... because the eyes are what capture, but I just could NOT miss the opportunity to prove how great this little one's eyelashes are. Such a serene little girl. Also the other trick is to create an interesting angle, turning the camera and such. Or shooting from looking up at them, though I find if I do that I wind up giving people a double chin, so I find shooting downward at them much more... well less insulting.
Heh.
Hair is also very distracting as I read, but the other photographer that I constantly see work from has a way of making the hair of her subjects stand out in lovely ways. Perhaps tomorrow will yield better results when we enter into settings. Fun fun.
