Working on our night moves

Stop Shooting Auto has an irregular homework assignment/photo contest covering different subjects in digital photography. The March contest was about bokeh, and the April/May contest is about capturing motion. This is the photo I submitted. I'm not yet skilled enough to fiddle with the image in post, but I am somewhat satisfied with it as is.

On a different photo-related subject, on Sunday afternoon I watched my friend S----- take some portraits, and I was really impressed with the way she framed the shots. This is a reminder to self to keep watching how other folk take pictures.

I'm really pleased with the way this picture captures casnow in a rare unselfconscious moment in front of the camera. If you take enough shots, eventually one turns out? I'm so glad I don't have to pay to do this in film.

Earth, Air, Water, Spirit?
