Portrait of my Hannah

Hannah is not a senior but she loves her picture taken. I set up my equipment in the garage and took a few of her. I had her turn, jump, and sway her hair. It was fun.

Senior Portrait – Jake Wade

Jake is so easy going. I know he would prefer not to sit (or stand) for these pictures. But he endures the event.

Jake Wade is not related to us, it is kinda of strange that I know three Wade families in our area.

Senior Portraits – Rachel

I want to learn the art of portraits. I been learning to light portraits in the context of “Senior Portraits” as in High Schoolers. I work with HS students at our church, Grace Chapel. I have lots of folks who want their picture taken. My daughter Rachel is a senior and she lots of friends.

I Took a Third Place

Since, I work a lot, I like to have a few hobbies. On of the those hobbies is photography. So, to help me with my photos, I joined the Lancaster Photography Association. I try to attend when I can. They meet once a month. They have a competition and there were over 200 photographs entered in all the levels and media (print, digital, slides). I enter three photos and one received a third place.

It is a humbling event. I often think my photographs are better then those that win, but I am trying to figure out what a contest like this wants, which is way different than the photos I want to take. They like puppies, kittens in a tree and birds on a stick. However, this meeting was very different. The level of photos was very good and the judge seemed to pick the better stuff.

This months theme, was “close-up”, you can see the results from the meeting.

Flower 1, Flower 2, Leaf- This image won third place and it was not my favorite.
