I've always been a focus and re-compose girl. (mainly because it was faster) So many of my shots were horrible this week. I finally realized that to get the shots I wanted, I was going to have to get over it and dive into my focus points. I am gaining speed, but still feel super slow. I feel like I am missing things because I am not quick enough yet, but I will keep plugging away.
So. I don't love these images...but they are a big improvement from what I was getting! It has been a good learning experience kind of week.
Part One: Point of View
Here is my 1st basic shot - I have tons just like this taken throughout the summer. I always try to blur the neighbors cars & trash out...but you can still see it. The beach grass I planted behind the sandbox has not grown as fast as I hoped! :)
I think these are much stronger. The 1st one totally blocks out the neighbors (love that!) and focuses on the kids. The second was shot through the beach grass, which I think I was a bit too close to because the stray pieces of grass are almost too fuzzed, but I still like it.
Part Two: Less is More
Small boy loving playing in the sandbox with brightly colored (distracting) toys...
I pushed toys aside and pulled out leaves (I missed some in the back of this one). I could not talk him out of the hat and the sunglasses...so I moved in closer.
