{Summer} Diana


I have been taking Christi's class for the last five weeks...  I have finally ventured off the green box to shoot in full manual almost 100% of the time!  Which for me, is a huge goal achieved!  Thank you Christi!  I chose this shot because I love the colors of Ruby's suit against the foliage along the shoreline.  Plus, it depicts our summer which is spent trying to take advantage of days like this at our cabin..  The only post processing here is a very slight "screen" adjustment in PhotoShop Elements.

Hooray for going manual. I'm still on auto after 2 years. Great composition and the cute watermelon bathing suit is adorable.

Just looked at your blog this morning, and this photo was my favorite one! And Caroline had that same swimsuit the first summer she was home. It was one of my favorites! It's just darling, and so is Ruby! Great shot! And congrats on manual!

Love that shot--it is summer at its best. Fun! (And, of course, I'm wishing we had two of those adorable little watermelon suits. Hee.)
