Learning Photography: Day 21

So I’ve never really used this blog for any reason except to establish my presence on the web and have a portfolio for potential employers to look at. That’s going to change. For the last couple of weeks I have been spending a lot of time reading and taking pictures of all kinds of things. I tried my kids and my wife, but the kids won’t hold still and my wife is 8 months pregnant and not feeling photogenic so I moved on to dolls and stuffed animals, not nearly as interesting, but they hold still and stay quiet!

So far I’ve built my own beauty dish, read through all of strobist lighting 101, started on lighting 102, taken more than a thousand pictures, many of them terrible, got active on twitter, facebook, flickr and linkedin. Check Flickr too see all of my photos, and here’s a few I like particularly well.

Brooklynn got jealous, so she got in the picture, it made it a lot more fun!

My wife is 8 months pregnant and understandably exhausted, usually she\'s not a fan of pictures. Whoops.
