Cloudy Photo Shoot

Photo shoot: August, 2018

I took this photo shoot in three different locations. The first one has sort of a nature back round, so lets take a look at that one!

For this first photo, I placed Rachael against a large pine tree, and then I placed the camera on the ground and pointed it up towards Rachael.

I am pleased with how this photo turned out. I think there might be too many shadows in the picture, but I am still playing around and learning how to edit pictures, so I'll figure out how to reduce shadows at some point. :-)

The next picture I took was from above Rachael. I sat Rachael down against a hay bale we had next to a Crape Myrtle tree we had. I placed a doll book I had on her lap to make it look like she was reading her book and stopped and looked up. I really like this picture. I also really like how the flowers in the corner turned out.  I would rate this photo a 7/10.

I only took one picture at our next location. I brought Rachael and stood her up next to a white shed in my backyard.

This picture is my favorite from the photo shoot. I like how Rachael really looks like she is looking at the camera. I think the white background is a little boring, but the brown grass and the bottom of the shed adds a little interest. I would rate this photo a 8/10.

The last location for this photo shoot was next to a gravel pile that was in my driveway.

This photo again was an upward shot of Rachael. The gravel and trees in the back round add some interest to the photo. The layered clouds also make a nice background as well. Like the other upward shot photo, I think there are a lot of shadows which makes the photo a little dark, but I think it turned out good overall. I would rate this photo a 6/10.

The last photo I took of Rachael was by the gravel pile as well. I think this is probably my least favorite photo I took. I don't know. There is something about the photo which makes me not like it as much as the other ones. I do like how there is a lot of background interest though, with the wagon, gravel, and wood pile. I would rate this photo a 5/10.


So, there won't be another photo shoot for a while because my camera broke and I am in the process of buying a new one. I also purchased the Our Generation kayak set, so that will definitely be in the next photo shoot!

I think overall, this is probably my least favorite photo shoot I did. I think the cloudy background makes the whole atmosphere a little gloomy, which is why I don't like it that much. But I think it still turned out great!
