Corinne's Assignment #3

1. Photograph a situation:

For my situation, I chose an outing we took to an uninhabited island in North Carolina called Shackleford Banks. The light was lovely and the kids were happy :) Here are my favorite three:

ISO 400 f10 1/2000 105mm

ISO 800 f16 1/1000 105mm

ISO 800 f6.3 1/4000 105mm

It's funny how my children aren't actually looking at me in any of these pictures. They were too involved in the adventure - maybe that's why I like these best, because for me, they truly reflect the experience.

2. Shadows

I didn't crop this one - it's on a waterfront walk

I was making sugar cookies in the early morning when I noticed that snappy shadow

3. Reflections

Preston had set up these blocks himself. I took pictures at first because I liked the long lines but after I looked at my first pictures, I noticed the reflections and started trying to make that part of the picture as well.

This isn't a particularly amazing picture - but for me, I love how I get both our Thanksgiving meal prep and how lovely the day was outside in one picture :)

So great! I can't find a single shadow in the world to take a picture of. (I never actually go OUT into the world, but you know . . . )

I love the sand picture the most. It's so cool. And I like those block reflections! Where did he set those up?

Now I have more ideas for the rest of my pics. Thanks!!

Corinne, that's your kitchen table, is it not? It's just very shiny! If you get the right angle on things . . .

Did you enhance the photo (blocks) at all?

Cami - yes, it's just on my kitchen table. I lightened them a tiny bit but that's it :)
