Keeping the faith...

... that this winter will eventually fade away and we actually can go outside more than once a week!
I've seen a lot of this in the last 5-6 months:

Just peering out the window...seeing if that cold, nasty white stuff is still there.

Also trying to keep the faith that I will eventually become the photographer that I want to be!
I'm finally starting to figure out back-lighting and learning to expose correctly for my subject. My ISO was 800 (where I tend to keep it indoors), so it's slightly grainy. Is that where I should have it? 

CC is appreciated! Thanks for stopping by!

What gorgeous big windows. You did a good job metering.

I'm no help on the "right" iso, I just play around and go with whatever gets the shot, lol!

This is a great photo, I just love the feeling it invokes. I am going stir-crazy myself and really hoping for warmer, DRIER weather this weekend!

Really really lovely! The softness the light provides is gorgeous. I like how it is vertical to maximize the scale of the window to the child.

Oh this shot is JUST adorable...emotional, and delicious! I love it. I love the sentiment....you really did a perfect job with the backlighting too I think, Shawna. You are growing every day as a photographer.

I love your windows! So fabulous. Love the way you captured this. I think 800 ISO worked great here. It doesn't look grainy to me at this size.

The red is so pretty with that natural light, and I like how you composed the photo. I totally hear you about going outside! I cannot wait for warmer weather!

Cheers,
