@mr-quebec and @buddingphotographer, thank you both, so much, for your helpful comments! I really appreciate it! I will keep those 3 things in mind as I do portraits. 🙂
@buddingphotographer, I really like the sepia tone on the picture! I will have to try that on some of the others when I get the chance, I just haven’t had time! Thanks for showing me what it would look like!@thefarmhand, thanks so much for taking the time to show me how you might edit the picture! I can see the improvement and I will keep it in mind for future pictures!
Also, thanks for explaining to me the “rule of 3rds”. I believe I understand it now. I had actually been taking pictures with that kind of concept but I didn’t know what it was called! 😉
Thanks again!
Miranda

Hello @thefarmhand! Yes, I remember you too!
Hmmm…I hadn’t thought of processing it as black and white. That sounds like a good idea! When I have the time, I will play around with it and see what happens. 🙂 Thanks for suggesting that!
The landscape behind the field wasn’t really the greatest for landscape shots. I had wanted to do some landscape photos but there was a lot of equipment and turned dirt behind it, not really the best for a photo! 🙂 I know that the rule of thirds was probably mentioned in the photography class with James but I can’t seem to recall if it was or not……… Can you enlighten me? 🙂
Yes, please do. I would love to see some of your ideas!
Thanks!

Thank you @Mr.Quebec and @Austin Vinar for your helpful comments! 🙂
@Mr.Quebec, that’s the picture that I was preferring too. I had noticed that that left wheat ear wasn’t as sharp as it could have been. It looked like to me that the camera focused in on the top of the ear. I’m not exactly sure how that happened. 🙂
@Austin Vinar, I hadn’t noticed that green until you mentioned it. Yes, it does distract from the subject. I’ll try and see if I can fix that. Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you so much for the advice! I had noticed that her eyes weren’t sharp but I wasn’t sure what had caused it and what I should do about it.
After I read your comment, I did some research and found that the “no flash setting” I was using can cause camera shake. You were right on saying the shutter speed was too slow, it was. 🙂 Also, in my research I found that there were some other settings that I could have changed to get a clearer picture. Can you sharpen the eyes with Adobe Lightroom or some other photoshop program?
Yes, the telephoto attachment is a handy accessory! Actually, this was my first time using it. I just got it and thought I would experiment with it. The function of the lens is to take pictures of distant objects without having to move yourself or change the lens. It also emphasizes the subject without loosing quality and it is mostly used for wildlife, travels and adventure sports. It just attaches to the end of your lens. They are not very expensive and are a pretty worth while investment it seems like to me. I’ve really enjoyed it so far!
