Week 33 Baby Robins

This week I photographed a pair of baby Robins in a nest at Split Rock Lighthouse. They had been in there making noise and distracting our tour groups for weeks. The mom would hop around with food waiting impatiently for us to move farther away so she could feed her babies. I was fortunate to have photographed them when I did because they were very close to fledging and the next day they one by one flew from the nest and disappeared. It was very difficult to get a good view of them because they were high over head and mostly hidden by leaves and branches. I managed to find one decent vantage points but there was this annoying stick that you can see cutting directly across the babies in the above photograph. I also for some reason link the photograph at the bottom because they are both looking away from the camera and apear to be peering together off after mommy. Lots of fun and they were so much cuter when they weren't distracting my tour group.

Week 26 Sheep Sheering

This week lots of things happened one of which was that we sheered the sheep which is not especially hard since ours are so friendly. Lise is the master wool cutting artison. We also went swimming in Lake Superior. Then I drove for two days, it was supposed to take three days, to get to FGC(Friends General Conference).

Week 3 Jump High

For this week I had this plan of making a photograph of someone jumping high into the air maybe with a dog next to them or some other sort of creative twist. Laura's little brother was happy to be my model and had lots of fun showing off his cool jumps and flips. It was a very challenging shoot because the overcast day made for a low level of light and jumping on a trampoline is fast action. I did manage to make a few good photographs this one being my favorite because you can see al of James and it almost looks like he is flying instead of jumping. I like how you can see the trampoline but there is a lot of space between him and it. I wish that his head was more centered in the photograph and he wasn't looking out of the frame because as it is the composition doesn't keep your eyes in the image. I did also make some nice portraits when he took rest breaks.

Week 41 Wedding & Fun Run

Well I have gotten very behind on uploading my weekly photographic challenge photographs. I have been so busy with school photo projects and photo jobs that it has gotten pushed to the side. Hopefully I will have some time to catch up over winter break. Here is one section. This week I photographed a wedding. This was a special one for me because it was the first wedding where I was the primary photographer and it wasn't family or friends. I had a lot of fun and pulled through it alright. I have decided though that people management and posing is where I need to most improvement. Also this week I photographed a Fun Run with my class. It was a lot of fun and I got to photograph a skunk that was nearby. To my dismay the police then came and shot the skunk because it was in the way of all the running kids.
