Well, I really stunk at last week's theme of interaction. You would've thought that would have been an easy one for me, seeing as all I do is take pictures of my daughter, trying to capture her interacting and learning about the world around her! I was in a slump... and I'm blaming it on the weather.
Today, however, is a different story! It's March (finally!) and it feels like Spring! It's sunny and in the 60's, the snow is even melting! We decided to get out and play, since we here that it won't be here for long. In true Ohio fashion, the temps are expected to plummet into the 20s tonight. Oh fun.
We went to the park today and did some swinging. Below are some of the action shots. I've included the before and afters, so that you can see the slight cropping I did.
I just finished reading Learning to See Creatively by Bryan Peterson. Great book. I'm trying to work on the composition of my photos, in particular, the rule of thirds. I didn't have a lot of time to think and compose during this photoshoot (the swinging was a little fast!), so I've tried to crop these photos to capture the look that I was after. I wanted her to be the main focus against the pretty blue sky. Besides the cropping, these are all sooc.
CC is appreciated!! Thanks for looking!

Fun, fun, fun shots! I love the angles on these....and being able to see the background around her. I love that book Learning to See Creatively. I think I've checked it out from the library about 5 times. I guess I should just buy my own copy!
I love all of your different perspectives on this. The up close and the far away, almost simulates swinging as the reader. Great job!
Shawna, I got the shoes at gap. They are actually a rasberry color. I just love them toO!~ toni
These are terrific shots! I love the crop in teh 2nd one!
Very cute! I love swing shots.
First the photos are great and the cropping on that first one is wonderful.
I have just ordered that book from amazon and awaiting its arrival. Glad to see someone is enjoying it
You got some great flare here, and I love the colors. I really enjoy Peterson's books- you are doing a great job!
Great shots! I can't decide which one of the first 2 I like better, the cropped or uncropped, they are both great. Love the crop on the last one! hmmm sounds like another Bryan Peterson book I might need to get, just finished his understanding exposure and it was great!
I love the way your cropped your photos. You left room for movement and still got close up on the subject.
so cute..those are great crops and I also really like the sun in the last 2. great job!
