I've had so much fun over the last three and a half months working on my photography skillz. I think I've made small improvements over that short amount of time. I think most of all I've improved on my focusing weaknesses and capturing Penelope in her "moments". Chris is also a photography enthusiast, which creates a really fun dynamic. We have very different aesthetics and set up each shot differently. I welcome our differences because it helps me to think a little bit more creatively. However, Chris believes that it's SO much better to walk closer to your subject rather than zoom in. I don't think so, Christopher. The other day I was trying to convince him that his ways are wrong (okay, I wasn't trying to convince him that he was wrong, I just decided to show him the difference of his method and mine). I thought I'd show him the results of our differing opinions: Christopher's method to walk close with your wide-angle lens: Melissa's Method to zoom in rather than walk super close (aka not-so-wide-angle Chris): I dunno, I think my way is superior. What do y'all think??
