Just a few fav's

Photography

Hi there!
Yep. I am still here. And still planning to catch up with things here on my poor neglected blog :)

I thought you might like to see what I have been up to (besides the usual craziness of mothering 4 children, and being the bishop's wifey too ;)

I am finally taking the photography class that I waited a year on the wait list to get into!! It is a 12-week course and it is awesome! You can check it out here!

It is filling up every extra minute of my days, stealing from my zzzz's at night, and straining my brain in ways it has not strained in quite a while and I LOVE IT!!! Just so thrilled to venture of the auto mode and finally learn how to make this camera behave ;) Ha! I am still very much a work in progress but these are a few of my fav's, some because I am proud of the technical skills I am developing, and others that I liked just because I do :)

XOXO -- Wendy

Spring Photo Shoot

I attended an intense, all-day, photography workshop a couple of weeks ago. It was something I had been longing to do for quite a while. It was inspiring, rekindling the artist/designer in me. It was taught by Nicole Hill Gerulat, an amazingly talented photographer. Check this out for lots of beautiful eye candy and see what I mean. I was very grateful for my degree in Design (which included a couple of photography classes, a few :) years ago) because the pace was a little mind boggling and at least I knew well the principles of design. If I had to learn composition, the rule of thirds, juxtaposition... AND the ins and outs of metering, F-stop, shutter speed, ISO, white balance... I think I might have been completely overwhelmed.

So... this is my first little shoot -- all manual! I have lots and lots of practicing to do and tons more to learn, but here are some sweet pics of my very favorite subjects.
