Photo Shoot

I let my daughters use my camera today to take a few snapshots. Of course, this was mostly under my watchful eye as I'm very attached to my camera and it's a necessary part of my work. They took a few shots of their baby brother, of this and of that.

And then I noticed that their "imitate mummy" instinct kicked in again. They have watched me more than once as I set up items to be photographed. I'm far from an expert, but I'm learning and trying to incorporate more into my "sets" to create a scene or mood.

I was in the kitchen and could hear lots of animated whispers and running about. One ran upstairs. The other ran upstairs. One came down. The other came down. More whispers and a bit of bickering. They were obviously setting something very exciting up.

And they've obviously been watching me from the start with my very basic shots. But have evolved far quicker than I have. In fact, in about 10 minutes.

And here are the results of their first ever photoshoot....

The empty shot: not much scenery, very far away. Needs some work.


Getting Better: a little more interest to this one, model has been moved and image zoomed in.



Ah ha - The Final: added interest through props and posing.


Cleary two Pulitzer prize winners in the making!
