The child gives good camera.
I love this photograph of my friend Michelle’s daughter, Juliette.
I snapped it today while she was crawling up onto my lap - and I just gave it that soft glow in Photoshop.
My only issue is that my knee is in sharper focus than her face, but I will learn how to take better pictures using this new camera with time and practice and by reading through the various books I have.
That’s another nice thing about working for a publisher: access to books I can USE in real life (not that I don’t love fiction, too). I’ve got the field guide for my camera (Nikon D40), and a whole slew of Photo Workshop books.
Still, for an amateur shutterbug attempt, I do like this photo quite a bit.
