  Brad and Baby, originally uploaded by Ted Cabeen.

  I haven’t been taking as many pictures as I’d like recently, but I did get this one from Saturday’s Miracle Fruit party. It’s a little dark, but Brad looks very cute holding that baby. He should do it more often!

  mom, originally uploaded by slingram.

  My awesome mother let me take a couple head shots of her. I took this in bright sunlight, under a patio umbrella. Diffused light, yay!

  Street #2, originally uploaded by Ted Cabeen.

  I caught this guy totally off the cuff while waiting for Shayna at lunch one day. I love the lighting on his face.

  Portrait #2, originally uploaded by Ted Cabeen.

  This picture came out interestingly. The focus was good, but the original was too red. I found a new way in Lightroom to adjust the colors (using the photo to identify which hues to adjust) , and was able to bring it down about the amount I wanted without too much trouble. I’m excited about playing with color adjustment in the future.

  Grandpa, originally uploaded by Ted Cabeen.

  This is my first attempt at taking a portrait shot and converting it to greyscale. One important thing when framing/editing to greyscale is getting sufficient contrast between the subject and the background. In this case, my grandfather’s shirt was a pretty bright blue. I had to tone the blues down so that he stood out from it properly. It was an interesting challenge.

  sugarplums, originally uploaded by slingram.

  From a photo shoot we did with two local girls for family holiday pictures. Not a fan of the hand being cut off. I feel like the angle is interesting, but could have been better. I do like their expressions, the color contrast, and the orientation. This was a super fun and challenging project.

  off guard, originally uploaded by slingram.

  A “surprise” portrait of a dear friend who I’ve known since first grade. This photo captured her personality. The focus is a little off, especially in her eye. I’m going to work on street and people photography more — I realized I need to work on it after Ted was clearly more successful in our photography shoot two weekends ago with a local mother and daughter.
