We're a Couple of Misfits.......

My mother asked me to take a few pictures of her favorite Rudolph figures. Although a few of them are banged up, she wanted me to leave them the way they were. I took a different approach to the angles, and used my ideas instead of hers. In the end, she loves the pictures, and is actually getting some printed to hang in her bedroom. (She is a Rudolph fanatic!)

Although the pictures aren't really anything special, I thought I would share a few with you guys. Criticism is greatly appreciated!:thumb

    Well, all that really matters is that your mom likes them and she can show all of her friends how great her kid is, right? :ivar

    You made them all better by picking a nice background. The third one, with the background OOF is my favorite.

    You achieved what you set out to do, you made your mother very very happy, and that's what it's all about nod.gif

    There's always room for improvement, but sometimes I think we get too technical ...... lovely shots thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thank you Shootin1st and Skippy! :D

    I still don't know much about my camera, and I'm trying to get enrolled in the local college for photography and digital darkroom classes. Hopefully after a year of classes, I might know more about what I love. I have made many people happy with the pictures that I have already taken, so for now I am happy with my work.

    I actually had problems printing out my Christmas cards this year. I was really late on taking photos this year of my kids for the cards, so I didn't have time to order from anywhere really nice. So I ordered 1-hour cards from Walmart. They wouldn't let me pick them up until I had a signed copyright release form from the photographer! I had a rough time trying to prove that I was the one that took the photos! It was a compliment, but it was a pain in the butt!

    Here is the card.......

    P.S......When printed at Walmart...the photo in the top right corner came out with an all black backdrop. Their printers are sooo dark, but it actually helped in this situation!
