Disneyland: Day 1

We made it through the first day. Salt Lake to St. George. The kids unwound in the hotel by exploring the branded pens and pads, the TV Guide, and jumping all over Grampy.

From a family trip to the lake.

#12: Use the Rule of Thirds

The Family Showoff

London continues to be the only one of my kids that is patient enough to stand in front of the camera while I play with the lights. He loves being in the limelight, so this is one of about 30 unique faces he made for me while he was standing there. No direction needed.

He did have to go get a snack about half way through (hence the pretzel), and I'm sure he'd want you to know that the purple lines on his fingers are Wolverine claws!

#11: Choose the Best Format

I liked the way that the landscape format of this one emphasized the streaking snow. Thanks to Angela for her patience in the freezing cold!

#10: Blur the Background

This my little cousin, Halle. She was the cutest little Geisha girl for Halloween. I shot this with the Canon 50mm f/1.4. It used to drive me nuts because the depth of field is so narrow, but once I learned how to use it, it rocks! Love it.

#9: Focus on the Hands

I had this idea on the way up to a shoot for some friends today.
