My favorite tip when shooting landscape is to consider the weather.
ex:
It would be fun to shoot downtown along the river. Or on the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Tips:Look carefully for reflections in the water.
        Lie down and look straight up through the branches; climb a tree to look down the path.

motion preview

1) The photographer got this photo by keeping the dog still slowing down the shutter speed and keep the focus on the dog as that car moved along.
2) try to stay steady, use lower ISO, and try using small apertures.
3) I want to try this dog photo.

First Free Shoot

Wedding Photo 1:
     This photo is of a bouquet of flowers for a wedding. These flowers became the centerpiece of the wedding when it was tossed into the air for all of the woman to catch. 

Wedding Photo 2:
     The pearls and sea shells are the main ornaments for the wedding. These beads and shells were placed everywhere to incorporate the theme of a "On The Sea-Side" wedding. 

Wedding Photo 3:
     The bride's shoe is sat on a mirror and presented to the bride as if it were the story of Cinderella. The Shoes Sole the Show.

Reflection: 
1) I'm happy that I at least had something to post.
2) I would probably not wait to long to do the project.
3) I feel like I learned nothing, I need help with camera settings.
