@loganlamar and @morganwriter1gmail-com
I just returned from my week at camp and I wanted to thank you both for your very helpful comments beforehand. Your comments were in the back of my head as I was running around, and were so helpful. I learned alot through the experience.
Logan, the idea of putting the camera in manual and throwing ISO into auto – that was SO helpful and worked beautifully!! I was able to get tack sharp action photos, decent indoor photos, and it was just great.
And the encouragement to say, “Hey can you smile at me?” was good too. I got lots of nice pics by doing that 🙂 Oh, and I asked my uncle if he could give me a list of shots they would want, and he looked at me kinda strange and said, “Umm, I’ve never made a list like that before…” Turns out the person who used to do photography for them was not a photographer – they just needed someone to take pics so she’d go around and snap stuff. So with me doing actual composing of scenes and such, they all thought I was just amazing, which struck me funny because I still would consider myself to be an amateur 😀
Morgan, your comment to focus on the eyes was super helpful! There were alot of great candids.
Thank you both again 🙂
