Studio{us} Mommy

Greg and I are thinking about starting a web show for Alyssa. She is adorable in front of the camera and is not shy. She loves explaining her toys and her world.

I took this video a couple nights ago and posted it on my mommy blog but since I used the d90 to take it I thought it would be good to post here too. Its 5 minutes long but if you wait long enough you can see a completely un-staged appearance by Aiden that is nauseatingly adorable.

Thursday’s here are my photography class day. Today we learned about what F-Stops are, what an SLR really is, and some lens information. Next week we are working on metering and checking the camera settings.

So here is my instructor, Art Hanson, he’s been at it for 20 years!

This I believe was taken on Auto but no flash. I spent some time with my camera jacking up the ISO as high as I could and opening that lens so I could get something besides a completely black photo. I came the the realization that the lighting sucks. BUT I FINALLY got a photo of something!

Now its obviously under exposed but hey, I am still learning! And neither of these are assignments but I wanted to share. Speaking of sharing, when I got home from class there was a large box waiting. It turned out to be a review item! Be on the lookout for the review of this on Serendipity Mommy in about 2 weeks!

Those were both shot manually but I put on my warm and fuzzy flash because I will never get any light in this living area!

First and foremost, this arrived today finally! We will be using it excusively in class and I didn’t have it at home but I do now!

Best Friends – They are almost 2 months old. LOVE THEM

.First day of class was Thursday. It was ok in the sense that I was excited to be there but I would have loved to skip the whole rules of attendance and stuff. But in the end I realized that my prof was saying this stuff because he is pretty good at what he does. We got a lot of papers and a couple freebie magazines. We also were informed that we’ll be exclusive using Adobe Lightroom. I only have PS Elements on here so I ordered a copy of Lightroom. It should be here next week.

I’ve been keeping up with my 365 Project and here is the last few pics I have taken and posted..
