Still

As I've entered into photography world (thank you, Cannon Rebel xsi) I've begun to absolutely love taking pictures. I've always loved being creative and finally I have a nice camera to expand this hobby. I love shooting people because usually it is of my friends and those I adore (maybe it will one day be of clients), but I have truly loved taking still shots of things that may go unnoticed.

I'm no master photographer and don't have any fancy equipment besides the basics, and I still do not know the ins and outs of all the things I can do on my camera, but I am learning. One of the fun things is experimenting, learning, and figuring out how to achieve better shots.

So...here are just a few of my favorite still shots...They are by no means perfect or high quality photography, but I love them because it is the beginning of a new adventure.

This sock monkey only reminds me of one cutie, Gus Hill. I love the perspective of this shot:














This is in Forest Park. My friend Emily and I were taking a walk and she loved the silhouette of the couple against the fountain. I would have to agree with her.




















This little guy is quite the character. He works the puppy eyes too well.














Finally, the Muny in Forest Park. I imagine this picture being even more perfect with a bride and groom (and a few other adjustments). However, this picture means so much because my wonderful boyfriend fought the cold weather with me and used his creative talents to look for great shots.
