School: Addie
Posted on October 27, 2011 by addiewhite
Oh my, it’s been a busy week!! Even though I had lots of good ideas, this was a little challenging for me. I am much more comfortable doing portraits than stills. I took pictures of apples and sharp pencils alone and wasn’t feeling it. Once there was a person involved, it was so much easier for me!
This was shot with my Canon 5D Mark II in manual mode ISO 1250 f 2.8 1/125
I love this picture! Great focus on the ABC writing! I think that the sleeve of the blue shirt is a big distraction taking away from the sharp pencil. I would do it again with a bare arm and would have a little more in focus on the ABC writing.
Such a simple, clever idea. Funny, I totally get what Jamie is saying but I guess it just depends on the interpretation of “school”. When I just saw it I like the blue shirt because it made me think of the act of the child writing instead of just the letters itself. I’d be curious to see if I liked it better without the sleeve. =)
Thanks for the comments and ideas…. I will re-do and see what we all think :)
