I am taking Karen Russell’s photography class, and this week’s lessons and assignments are about composition. I usually feel composition is one of my strong points, but I’ve discovered that I rely on cropping in post-processing to achieve good composition. Today I completed both my class assignments with the help of my grandbabies- and it was challenging. All our assignments are to be uploaded straight out of camera- no editing. Yikes!
This morning I had my model, Miles, sit on the floor and play with my iPhone, while I took photos of him from different viewpoints. Here are some of my favorites (all of which have been edited, because I don’t have the no editing rule on this blog- whew!).
In the afternoon, we took the kids to Giggles, Miles’s favorite place. One of my homework assignments was to take photos on a family outing- and of course use good compositional techniques while doing so. Since I photographed Miles this morning, I concentrated on Henry, an unbelievably fast moving target. Catching him in my viewfinder was pretty difficult. I’m exhausted!

Your photos of the boys this week are enchanting. Miles is so handsome and that
little Henry is the image of his mama. Beautiful photos, as always Melinda…edited and unedited!
Great shots! I haven’t read the homework assignment yet. I may have to come back to take photos of the boys! 🙂 My favorite is the one of Miles’s feet. What a charming view. The composition is great.
