Night Photography

Inspired by Felicia's photo safari from couple weeks ago, I went with her for another safari. The theme this time is Night Photography. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the beautiful Navy Pier in Chicago. --- Stella

Miniature Golf


Today was the first time my daughter tried Miniature Golf. She got the forms all wrong! So much for the golf college scholarship dream... -- Stella

Photography class


I took a photo safari class. Basically I learned more about my camera. Now I know which White Balance or Metering I need to use, etc. We also learn about composition (which I tried to practice a lot that day).
That Sunday was so gloomy and rainy that we didn't get a chance to take pictures outdoor.
Inside the building, the instructor didn't allow us to use flash (well, what's the point of taking a class if we're using a helper).
Anyway, 100% of my pictures turned out grainy, since I was using iso 1600.
HMMMPH! --feli

Here are three of my BEST shots that day.

Playdate

My favorite pics of the weekend. We went for a playdate at a friend's place and the kids were having fun with the bouncy house :) -- Stella

Here was my girl walking away sulking...not sure for what reason...

I always love taking kids' pictures because they have priceless expressions!
