This week we had a photography lesson with Sarah Loveland, a Christmas present from our Mum. This blog will be very photo orientated and so thought we'd better start with the basics... good photos!
It was fantastic and we’d highly recommend it. We love to take photos but all the techy speak and the one million buttons on our cameras are a bit daunting and we tended to always stick to auto settings. Sarah tempted us from our safety zone without baffling us with science and we hope that some of the hints and tips she gave us will make their way to the photos on this blog.
Sarah came to us which meant we could practice with her in our own homes (it helps that we live three doors from each other). It meant we could tell her what we wanted to be better at and she helped us through it.
These photos are not styled or really thought out it was more to get us used to using our specific cameras and getting us off the automatic setting.
We wanted to be able to take photos of our homes, we had
some fun with depth of field and reflections.
Hatty is a huge foodie and loves to cook so she wanted to
take better photos of her concoctions. We went to her house and had a practice
in her dining room, playing with light and aperture. For some reason we
practiced food photos with a cactus, mmmm!
Of course, it is also important for us to be able to take
good photos of each other and our families. Here are our favourites that we
took of each other and Millie.
Now we just need to do lots of practicing and experimenting to see what works for us... we’ll be sharing our progress on the blog. And if you’d like a 1-2-1 lesson with Sarah or to try one of her workshops or photography walks then check out her website www.sarahloveland.com
