spring…

summer is coming, spring was here.  as i am clearing out my computer from the past few months i am realizing what a full and beautiful spring it was.  without thinking too hard, and picking VERY quickly— i randomly grabbed a few pictures from the spring.

most of the time i listen to beautiful, relaxing, creative music while editing.  but i seem to always come back to this song.  kinda random i know.  but i just love (and always have loved) a little reggae and matisyahu…..  puts you in just the best mood.

lighting

if there is one thing i’ve learned, & am learning…  is that lighting is everything.  this picture has VERY minimal editing, i just stood outside an open door, put the little girl just inside a darker room where there was great in-direct light at the opening of the door.  such an easy little trick to getting great light reflecting in the kids eyes.  i used the smallest number for appeture possible, here 1.8 – but even with any camera or lens, you’ll get great results if you use lighting really well.  try it:)
