So. here's my first post. My URL, westminster-origami, refers to the name of my animation production company (and by "production company" I mean the name I put on the slate at the beginning of all my stupid animated shorts). I figured if I wanted to use this blogger profile after the class is over, I should pick a cool URL.
Anyway, on to photography!
I took this picture with my Canon Rebel t2i when my sister was visiting this summer. This was my nephew Joseph's first hair cut and my sister asked me to take some pictures for her. Like I said during my introductory presentation, I am NOT a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm trying to learn.
This was the best picture from that day (in my opinion). It was difficult to find the right settings to shoot with because of the light from the windows. I didn't want the background to be blown out, but I wanted the foreground to be well lit. It was also difficult to get a good picture of both my sister and Joseph at the same time (he'd look away, her face would be covered, etc.). If I were to edit this photo I'd probably enrich the color a bit (it seems sort of monochromatic to me). I'd also try to adjust the exposure of the background (since it's overexposed).
I'm really looking forward to learning more about photography this semester!
