Exposure

Since getting the new camera I have been immersed in photography reading. Don't bother going to the library — I have all the books out. I was doing some reading on exposure compensation, and fired off some test pictures. Here's one from the shady porch where I added light to the exposure. See the eyeball reflection in the larger shot.

Mother's Day 2007

This may be the first photo ever of our expanded family. The logistics behind getting everybody in the same location at one time are staggering. As you can see, everyone still is not cooperating. Let's just say this was the least bad shot of the session.

Nikon D40 Arrives

New hardware alert! After attending Photoshop World in Boston last month and sitting through a bunch of classes about photography (who knew?) I took the plunge. This is just the baby Nikon, but I can already tell it's going to be fun. This takes me back to my salad days of college photography class and f/stops and light meters ... glorious, with no stinky darkroom. This was shot in the backyard, things are finally starting to bloom here. I love the blur of the flowers in the background.
