Photo shoot #2

I offered to shoot a friend of mine's daughter and her BFF.  They were really cute girls and so patient with me.  I did remind them a couple of times that I WAS NOT A PROFESSIONAL!  This was after I was told to "get it together, Letisha!" haha  They were a lot of fun.  I learned a couple of things: I'm not great at action shots, shooting in bright sun is hard, processing photos of people is hard--especially when they are so differently colored, and taking photos is just generally a lot harder than I thought!

I ended up with 178 images and no even close to all of them were any good.  Maybe....MAYBE....half of them were decent.  It was frustrating....I'd find a nice one and then I discovered there was a leaf in a bad spot or shadows or SOMETHING!  It was frustrating, but I think I managed to come up with some nice photos of the girls.  What do you think?
































This is one is my favorite from the entire shoot....






This one seems to show a helping hand and I really liked it.



This one proved nearly impossible for me to do.  I had this whole idea of catching a shot of the girls from behind and they were upside down.  Yeah, it never quite worked out.












This one was funny because I cracked a joke about someone that we all know...it backfired on me because they were cracking up and moving around!






This is a very grown up picture....she's only in the 8th grade by the way.







Just for fun.....I thought her eyes looked nice and her expression was funny....so I had to zoom way in!












She is a dancer....








My second favorite of her...



Just for fun....








This was the hardest shot to get.....







Update:  I purchased some new presets and tested a few of them on this shoot.  So, here are a few more images...

Luminous--add sunbeams and vintage coloring...


Added creamy bokeh and a vintage finish...


A nice, sharp black and white finish....more like what I used to do but without the grain.



Winter haze on the b&w finis with snow flurries....just for fun.
