My husband graciously agreed to be my model for a quick photo shoot over the weekend. I took about 15 photos and narrowed it down to these three. It’s fun using Lightroom 5 for editing and the creativity involved…
This photo is my favorite. I call it “Nanook”…
We met 20 years ago country line dancing and this hat joined in many a fine dance…
I enjoy experimenting with the shadows, angles and lighting…
Even if it’s cold outside…you can practice with your camera taking photographs of people, animals and things at home!
i use my wife too 🙂

Yes, I think the entertainment community – including modeling – has finally come to realize that people don’t suddenly age out at 30.

Sherry, you have inspired me to purchase a nicer camera and maybe even taking a beginning photography class to take better photos for my blog! These photos are fantastic!

That’s great! I am still taking photography classes. I have to drive 40 minutes once a week to get to his place, but there are only 3 of us in the class and it’s only $15 for 2 hours. If you join a photography meetup, you could probably meet someone that gives classes reasonably.

Good idea Sherry. My fav is the B&W one.
I would like to compare the raw pics with these final/edited ones. If you’re ever get a chance, pls post that. Want to know how much diff the SW/editing makes.
Thanks,
