Generations

Four of my favourite pictures from the dog park today.  I’m attempting to take better portrait pictures; I enjoy photographing people and am trying to learn how to use my digital SLR to improve my portraits.  These people are not related but I realized when I was reviewing the pictures later that they were a perfect example of different generations.  The photograph’s aren’t as sharp as I would like but I’m still learning about shutter speed etc.  Hopefully this will improve with practice.

Ben and Holly

Ben with Holly.  I was babysitting Holly but not surprisingly, she preferred him.

Kaneyko

Last night I was practicing with the aperture setting on my camera by taking random pictures.  Kaneyko was sitting on the couch beside me and as I aimed my camera at her and snapped the shot she moved closer.  The resulting picture was, in my opinion, terrific.  I love how green her eyes are and that a tiny image of me with my camera is reflected them.  I love how pink her nose is and how wavery her whiskers appear.  I sincerely love this picture and plan to print it, frame it and hang it in my living room.
