Assignment 1: Direct Sunlight



Since I missed out on not one but TWO photography workshops that will be coming to CA the next few weeks, I did the next best thing and signed up for a website that just went live called PhotographyMentor.com The photographer that founded it is a pretty successful wedding photographer, even shooting some high profile celebrity weddings. The online school has video clips, a forum, galleries, and assignments. I'm hoping it will take me a bit further in my craft.

Our 1st assignment has us shooting a photo in direct sun. Easy peasy, you non-shooters are saying, right? Well, in fact, direct sun, with it's harsh shadows, flare, and squinty eye creating brightness, is one of the worst types of light you can work with; hence, the challenge.

Since the girls were at their grandparents, I chose a little still life for today. I'm sure I'll make another attempt with my fav subjects before the assignment deadline.
