Portrait Class, Part 2

I had my second installment of a portrait class that I am taking with my daughter. This class was focused on flashes. I don’t own an external flash for my camera so I had to use the equipment provided by the instructor.

Metamorphosis

Close up of Butterfly in Crepe Myrtle

One rainy afternoon I saw a large caterpillar in one my small crepe myrtle bushes and ran to get my camera. I wanted to try to get a macro photo of the caterpillar as it was brightly colored.

Image Stacking vs. Long Exposure

Long exposure of Brushy Creek

The last time I was at Brushy Creek park, I wanted to do some long exposures but I didn’t have my ND filter with me. So, I just didn’t get the picture and thought that was that.
