I am taking a photography class and we have to post a recent favorite image. I don't know why, but I really like this one. This was taken in the late fall of 2011. The sun was going down and I had just finished reading Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Exposure". I asked my oldest daughter if she would be my model. She first said, "Mom, I haven't even gotten ready for today" You know, just imagine any 15 year old on a lazy Saturday rolling her eyes. She finally did agree as long as I promised to not put them up on facebook......so instead she is just getting posted to my blog...lol.
This particular photo was not even planned as it was really in between posing I was messing with my settings as I was just venturing into manual mode and she just looked deep in thought and I snapped away. I also love the bokeh effect. Now hopefully this class will help me understand how to achieve this look intentionally.
