December Challenge

Challenge #2 - Since we are getting a lot of snow right now, this challenge is to capture a snow shot. However you want! Work with metering and white balance to see if you can keep the snow white - not gray - without over exposing.

Children's Museum - indoor lighting

(ISO 1600, f/4.0)

There was not enough light inside the museum to get a crisp shot without a flash or tripod :( There is some camera shake on this photo because of the lighting, but I thought it was a cute shot - a nice family playing in the back ground and the boys playing with one another. "Gratitude" for family, right?

Father & Son

We spent Thanksgiving elsewhere, and using the camera there didn't seem appropriate.  So, I had to think of what to do.  And while these two are almost always my trusty subjects, in all honesty, I couldn't think of a better way to capture gratitude.  So there's no turkey or fancy table or extended family.  All I wanted to do was portray gratitude that these two have for each other.  Not sure if I succeeded, but at least it got me to take out my camera and try.  I chose this spot near the window.  Daddy is in the light, the boy is not- so he's a bit shadowed.  There were many where both were illuminated to my liking, but this was my favorite expression.  I still need a lot more practice with wiggly toddlers.

I can't wait to see your photos. I hope you had better luck with the Thanksgiving theme!

Thanksgiving

Challenge: The theme is Thanksgiving and the technique is indoor lighting. Try to capture gratitude, if you can.
