I ♥ Faces- Laughter

The photo above is my son, in Utah, at my grandparents home. The background is Logan Canyon and the Logan River. I have lots of photos of him smiling and laughing, but I really like this one :) I'm sure it could use some editing, to brighten up his face a bit.... and maybe some cropping....ahhhh maybe next time :)

So I haven't done I ♥ Faces for several weeks, but I decided to share this week. Please note, that I don't ever do this to win-- just look at the talent by clicking HERE for this week's entries, and you will see what I mean :) It is amazing!! I haven't taken many photos lately, and still don't have the "skills" or the camera to go with it-but I LOVE photography-and love to join in the fun! I ♥ Faces is a great little site for learning, sharing, and seeing the amazing talent that is out there! Take a look :)

I ♥ Faces - No Flash (3/23)

By Sharla@ My Little Gems

This is my second son at about 5 weeks old. We took this one afternoon in front of a window. It was one of my first experiences working without a flash-with my "point-n-shoot" camera.

It is one of my very favorite baby photos of him. I love working with natural light!

(It amazes me how much I have learned about photography since then-and how much I still need to learn :))

I ♥ Faces "Creative Cropping"

AFTER CROP:

BEFORE CROP :

This is my first post and entry for "I ♥ FACES." I have fallen in love with this blog! It is so fun! Each week they have a contest. Anyone can enter, any level of photography. This week the theme is "Creatively Cropping". I have spent quite a bit of time going through my photos, looking for a great cropped photo that shows a face. I discovered I need some more practice in creatively cropping with software. :) I usually try to crop the photo when I am taking it-so editing is minimal. Most of the good photos I have of faces, were cropped when I took the actual photo. :) I still have lots to learn, but I am really loving photography right now :) I still definitely consider myself a beginner ;)


Why I picked this photo: This has been a favorite photo of ours for a few years now. :) It is the photo that got me going with photography. (It actually one a contest at a local Scrapbook store several years ago, and was displayed there for sometime.) I took it with my little pocket point and shoot camera. I really liked how the original turned out with my little guy's head positioned as shown. It was a very hot day, we were out hiking, and daddy was carrying our little guy. I love his cute little smile. So for my first entry for I ♥ Faces, I went with this photo. After many photos that I have taken since this one (taken in 2006) it still remains one of my favorites.

I still have lots to learn about photoshop! I'm excited I found I ♥ Faces, where many people share with others their skills and what they have learned!
