Thanks so much for taking time to share those thoughts, @kina! It’s always helpful to hear things that other people say to guide subjects into poses. 🙂
YAY, @sarahb! I’m so proud of you for doing a self-portrait! That’s no easy task. 🙂 I love the color dress you chose…it adds such a vibrant feeling to the image.
And, here come a few pictures of my own. This is literally the closest to deadline I’ve ever submitted! 😀
Was so grateful for the opportunity to head over to a nearby park with my sisters one day…it was frigidly cold, but the lighting at that time of day was simply delicious!
I was so bummed when I realized I didn’t even think to check my ISO…I wasn’t even thinking about it until later in the shoot when I realized I was shooting at ISO 400 when I could have easily been down at ISO 100. Those details!
Anyways, with these photos, I was attempting to illustrate lyrics from “As the Deer”.
I think the photos could really apply to several phrases in that song, but the ones I had in mind specifically were “to You alone may my spirit yield” and “You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship thee.” Wow. May that be the cry of my heart.

Guys, this is AMAZING! What a blessing this will be for Elizabeth!! So many great photo submissions…excited to what else comes in before midnight 😉 Honestly, there are sooo many amazing submissions I want to comment on ALL of them to say what I like about them, but I’ll just have to save individual comments for the chat on the webinar as James goes over the photos 🙂

Hannah, Ruthann, Esther and Sarah, spring certainly has sprung in your area! Everything’s still quite brown around here but we’re starting to see signs of spring popping up around. Hannah, so glad you went back out to shoot the scene with the cross. The lighting and dewdrops enhance the scene so, so much! And I just love that all you sisters shot for the assignment…so fun! Yay Sarah, shooting for your first assignment! Good job!!
@levi-cloutier
So fun to see daffodils! Love the lighting in the other photos too!
@elmullet
Love the flowers…you captured the feeling of spring really well.

The deer!! Amazing!! I don’t think I have even one photo of a deer in my portfolio 😀My computer had some troubles this week and is in “the doctor’s office” so that messed with any plans I had to submit anything early. 🙂 But I finally got LR installed on the family laptop, and will see if I can get a couple photos edited and submitted before deadline at midnight!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but it was a blessing to my heart to meditate on the thoughts in these songs throughout this assignment. What a beautiful challenge to truly desire the Lord for Who He is.
You sister’s coat!? Ah, wow I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what it was. Very interesting. Not sure I would’ve chosen to have the framing to come across quite so strongly, but it’s certainly a creative idea.
Never been to Harrisburg. I’ll have to keep that in mind if I’m ever travelling through 🙂
Your portfolio is very impressive. Good, quality work! It’s looking really great.
Glad you figured it out! Now that I know what I’m looking for, I can definitely see the difference.
But, now you’ve got me curious, what were you shooting through in the first place, that got all the black in the photo?
That’s great! Thanks for sharing, @buddingphotographer!
That doesn’t sound like such a bad system. 🙂 I’ll have to look into that idea and see if I could set up something similar.
So glad you’ll be able to use multiple photos on the website, @buddingphotographer! That’s wonderful.
Good point, James.
Well, if anyone sees a deal, let me know! Would appreciate it.
Curious how other folks around here keep their eye out for good deals on things like this. Do you just search around? Do you sign up on email lists to get notifications?
Ooh! Good to know! Glad I asked 🙂
So, just to clarify, is she planning on matching up one photo per verse (and one photo per chorus), or is she planning to split it up more? For example, a photo to match the first half of a verse, and another to go with the second half?
Is she playing all 3 verses of As the Deer, and all 5 verses of Fairest Lord Jesus, in her arrangement?
I know sometimes when you do a musical arrangement, you don’t play all the verses but you do have specific ones you’re thinking of as you arrange the piece (for example, if you are playing with the 1st, 2nd, and 5th verse in mind).
So, just want to clarify if she’s hoping to illustrate all of the verses, or a select few.
