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!

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.
