This was tougher than I thought it would be. I think this was mostly because I haven't been taking many pictures lately, so it was slim pickin's. I drug out the camera one day this week (thanks for the motivation Amy!), and here are some of the results.

I take this picture of Julie a lot. I like it because I get a clear shot of her face, and the downward angle keeps the background simple. Plus it's easy to get. "Hey, Julie. Say cheese!" Now to work on matching her outfits...

My goal here was to zoom in and focus on the action. This helps to miss the clutter of the room around us. I'm not sure it totally worked, but I love that she's pointing right at the cucumber.

I like the first one of Julie for the same reasons you said. Pics at eye-level for kids are great but sometimes you get a lot of junk in the background.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the second pic is cluttered at all. Everything you see in the frame is important to the story. It looks like your jeans on the right hand side which says she's sitting on your lap (or daddy's?) to look at the book.
Both nice de-cluttered shots!!
I like them both! I think you did a really good job at it. My eye is not trying to find what "could" be the subject! And the way that she is pointing at the cucumber is very cute with her little pointer finger!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Julie is growing way too quickly. Very cute pictures! I love the second one for the main reason that I rarely remember to take pictures of the things my kids are doing and learning and instead focus on the kids. That's a neat perspective.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for gettingthe camera out! I know you've been busy :)
