Daffodils

I set out to take some pictures in the daffodil field today. I was thinking that since it was still chilly, there wouldn't be anyone else out there to get in our way. I was right, but the daffodils hadn't quite recovered from the cold and looked rather sad. I still took a few pictures to practice some lighting and composition. What I discovered is just how hard it is to take pictures of a toddler, without anyone around to help. I would get the lighting I wanted, but then she would decide to run off, or take her shoes off, or bend over just as I decided to take a shot. Or she would do something cute, but I wouldn't get the shot off in time. It was all very challenging, especially since I am really just learning how to use this camera. (It's gonna take me awhile.) I'm going to give the daffodils another shot in a few days, but this time, I'm making Nathan come so that someone can try to keep the kid's attention so I can just focus on taking pictures. Here is my favorite from today.


After Lauren's mention of picnik, I decided to play around with it some. It does some nice editing without having to deal with photoshop for something simple. I thought this one was cute.
