The photos below are some that I actually took about a month ago. It is amazing how looking back at these photos even from just a month ago I feel like I have learned a lot. But I am still proud of the photos. Gaining even an ounce of success with focus/exposure/lighting...etc is very exciting to a beginner. Enjoy!
On a side note: I think I am going to make a homemade soft box and see what happens. I really don't want to get a sore throat again so I think until it gets to at least 20 above zero outside I'm going to stay indoors. So with a soft box I can practice studio type shooting! Stay tuned on what I capture!
