Frame Four–My Way
It’s so crazy, I’ve had these posts written for a while, but for some reason I haven’t been publishing them when I’ve finished! So, they’re all coming today, even though they’re from different dates.
In other news…
I went to Carlsbad this morning to take pictures. It was sort of last minute, since I didn’t even know I was going there until my mom told me this very morning. And we were around this really uppity looking business place. It had a lot of greenery around, and even a pond (ducks included)! It was sort of hard to work with the lighting, since it was all overcast this morning. But there was just so many pretty pictures to take of nature! And I managed!
I even accomplished my mission! I thought of 50 different ways to say “you’re awesome”! Newest mission…read a lot more, and take a lot more pictures!
I’ve got a lot more to look into when it comes to pictures. There’s so much technical aspects that go into it—even before the editing process begins.
Now, I realize the goal is to get your image to look as nice and as close to reality as you can, and then touch it up just a bit in Lightroom. Photoshop is good for extreme effects, but for now, I’m learning about how to make them look naturally beautiful.
This is all easier to do now that I know the basics of exposure. I had no idea I’d be reading this much! But it really helps a lot. There’s still a lot more that I don’t know. It makes me want to look into more photographers to check out their style.

Yes, these are the things I would actually say to people if I were photographing them. I guess you could say I’m a goofy person. I like to sort of make jokes so I don’t get as nervous. Plus it seems to make people have more fun, too. I feel like I’m taking steps to becoming a new person. I mean, I’m still me, but I have that feeling of growth. Maybe being a leader isn’t as scary as I though it was.
