Photo shoot

Here are a few pictures from a photo shoot I did this past weekend. This was my first time actually trying to make pictures for someone other than myself or my family. The general concept we were going for here is a shot that the "model" could use on a business card for teaching clarinet lessons (he is a musician). I learned a lot, especially as I am going back over the pictures and observing the composition, exposure and lighting. While not 100% of everything I hoped it would be, I don't think these are too bad.

This one is of my daughter and the "model" for my shoot. It is one of my favorites from the day (no, it wasn't part of the original plan to have her be in any pics, but you know how kids are...).

The next one is, I think, one of the better shots I got. I will probably post some of the others at a later time, but for now, here it is. 

I welcome any comments and suggestions, especially on how I may be able to improve the shots for the next shoot. Thanks!

Blue Dragonfly

I had the chance to visit some friends today, on their "farm". While we were down at the pond, I was able to capture some pictures of the various plants and animals that were around the area. This blue dragonfly happened to stop long enough for me to take a couple of shots of it.
