Your shots are good this week! You are very good at capturing human emotions in your photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat work this week. I love the photo of the mom and her child. It screams pure happiness.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photos of yours is the girl toddler playing in the water at Hyde park and the child standing in water. The toddler so adorable and I love how fast the shutter speed is to capture the water so clearly. Even though she's not smiling, you can clearly tell she's having fun playing in the water. I also love the child standing in the water and the focus of the water running. I really like the rule of thirds in this photo with the child and how the water and rocks are in focus.
ReplyDeleteThese are really good and very personal. A lot of times I will be afraid to go up to people and take pictures of them, so I think it is so awesome that you do that. I especially love the picture of the couple in the boat, the focal length is very good!
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos have such balanced lighting and capture the movement happening so well. All of the Hyde Park photos are so damn cute. The first photo of the man rowing in the boat is funny because we all watched him try to row under a chain link barrier and get stuck... He seems happy in the photo though! The photo of Brianna at Sky Garden is badass and framed well by the foliage surrounding her. The droplets being thrown from the child's hand at Hyde Park are perfectly captured, along with the facial expression on her face. Cuteness overload.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photo is the one of the couple in the boat. It's sort of an action shot, and I think that the depth of field adds more layers to the photo. I like that the woman in the boat is somewhat blocked by the woman in the foreground. The softness of the photo and expressions on the couple really make it romantic. Plus, I think that the shade of blue is really bright and optimistic. I love the photo of the mom and her son. Maybe straighten the horizon? Either way it's super charming.
