Rainy autumn afternoons leave me somnolent.

Several cups of coffee into the day I am struggling to keep track of what file I am editing and which services need to be restarted on the servers and my eyelids feel leaden, pulling my chin down to my chest.  So I took a short break to sort through photos from this weekend.

One thing that I am realizing in shooting with the 50mm is my utter lack of technical skill with the camera.  Good focusing that compliments the composition continues to allude me and I really need to carve out the time to really understand white balance bracketing.  However, I am getting better at editing, My ratio of keep to toss is improving as my eye grows more critical, though, the 1:36 ratio seems so far off as I try and climb past 1:6 but I suppose that I am too emotionally attached to most of my subject matter.

Audra’s Three

Audra Smiles

I have a nose,

All three of these were shot from the hip in an attempt to get as slose to her level as I could and capture things as she might see them.

Audra is getting much more comfortable with the camera.  My incessant clicking and the blast of flash doesn’t make her flinch, dodge or run anymore.  Now she comes right up and starts hamming it up for the lens.
