Photography Tutorial

I bought a big dog camera and am learning to use it. In my spare time. Between the 3 jobs, and the many children...I digress.

Anyway, I read this other blog called the Pioneer Woman, and in her blog, she has a whole section where she does photography and photoshop tutorials.

I also read a blog called beanski she sometimes talks about photography, and her blog links to many, many other blogs that talk about photography, or have really well done photos.

So anyway, I think I'm getting good enough to do my own sorts of photography tutorials. Here is one, for example...

In the following photo, you can see how I've used the focus to highlight the most important area of the picture, drawing the eyes to the intended subject. By using the focus in this manner, you can create artistically beautiful images with depth and integrity...






Yup. Oh yeah. That's my photo. With the CHAIRS in focus, and my sweet little son OUT OF FOCUS. He's going to be so thrilled with his scrapbook when he gets older. He'll probably have to attend some sort of counseling sessions.

"Yes," he'll say to the therapist, "My Mom really did love the furniture more than me. Look here, I can prove it."

Then, he'll take out This Very Photo, and the therapist will gasp and tell him that she doesn't think she can be of any help to him.
