Photography is like designing. You start with an idea and make it into something real! Each shot, it is a new creation.
The outdoor image I took while visiting the San Diego Temple. The clouds were out on a sunny day. With the temple spire reaching to heaven. For the indoor shot, I took the Woman in prayer statue and focused on the detail in her face with the help of Lightroom and a slight shadow going behind her.
The foreground focus was the side profile of my husband’s face. If you look closely, you can see a mosquito under his jaw on the neck. The background focus pulls in the sign by the lake and the bark on the tree and more detail in the homes on the other side of the lake.
The Rule of Thirds photo shows my son on the left line, the waterfall on the right and the pool of water on the bottom third. The lead room shows a good example of how my son has room to continue to walk into the frame.
I imported all of my photos into Lightroom, tweaked them, gave them all a watermark and exported them back into my files.
