capture mascots....
We had some fabulous mascots during CAPTURE last month...
Meet Tory...
Our host's dog was very cute and adorably protective.
She loved greeting everyone each morning (personal doggie fan club!!)
and adopted us as her "pack"...which meant she got to lay down in the
middle of the room where we could all see her.

Meet Waldo...
The ducks at Landa Park (destination of our portrait shoot)
appeared in almost EVERY PORTRAIT.

With absolutely no effort at all :)
Stay tuned for some "Where's Waldo" posts,
in which YOU get to point him out!

Hello friends!
Laura and I enjoyed every minute with our wonderful class last month :)
We want to continue having fun with ya'll, so this week begins our "continuing education"!
Twice a month, we will post a challenge for you to complete and send in. (email HERE)
This week's is:
Rule of Thirds
1. You may send in up to 4 photos, each one must include the Rule of Thirds.
2. 2 photos must have the subject take up 1/3rd of the frame, 2 photos must have the subject take up 2/3rds of the frame.
3. 2 photos must be of a landscape with the horizon on the upper or lower third.
Send in your photos by October 14th, so we can enter them here on the blog!
Each photo will be accompanied by a simple critique, and you will get a more in-depth critique in a personal email, if you so desire :)
Take your time and have fun! Email us or leave a comment if you have questions!
...ok...well, acutally, it is simply a place in a photo that brings order to your composition...

Rule of Thirds:
Mentally divide the frame (what you see in the viewfinder) into thirds,
and place your subject on one of those third "lines".
The four intersections of the lines are called "sweet spots".
Putting the most important part of your subject on a sweet spot gets you extra points :)

How we met...
Laura and I met at a photography workshop!
It was a wonderful week, and we highly encourage you to check out all the amazing pro workshops with IPS!
Having had a great, hands-on experience sparked the idea of
teaching a workshop ourselves :)
