Headshot practice


I was practicing headshots for a February headshot photoshoot, when I made this one of a lovely neighbor.  It was nice of her to help me out.  I had never used a white background before and borrowed one from a friend.  I hope she likes it.

Pelican pictures Mexican and U.S.

I just edited this Mexican pelican photo from last year for an animal critique session.  I participate in an animal study group from the Photographic Society of America.  (I blurred the background more on this one)  I thought it would be interesting to compare it with a local Maryland Pelican.  It is certainly more colorful!

We don't often see pelicans from where we live, so it was a treat to photograph one nearby.  This was in 2016.

Toy Poodle All Dressed Up

 I was practicing my pet photography.  We dressed Sarita up in her best clothes with adorable pink bows.  Isn't she sweet?


Apricot toy poodles are so cute, but maybe I am a little prejudiced.

Camera Club Competition Winners for February 2019


Strawberry Splash
First Place Prints
I always wanted to try one of these types of photos.  It was tricky photographing in my bathtub and not getting my camera wet!

Barbara was in digital theme photo competition, since I planned to add 3 prints and had several extra headshot photos of my friends.

Angel
Third Place Prints

I decided to try prints this year for competition in St. Mary's County Camera Club.  I need more printing practice, since I usually send my photos out to a professional printer for displaying my best work.  Unfortunately, prints aren't as popular in our club, so I had to get a few people interested in trying it with me.  If there aren't enough prints, they don't get judged.  There weren't enough photos in January, but several people competed with me in February.  Thank you camera club friends.
