Looking through the shots I could have shared many with wide smiles in what was a perfect sunny, warm fall day. I kept returning to this one though, it proves a long held belief. You don’t need to see a person’s mouth to know they are smiling. It’s all there in the eyes. Who would doubt that apple hides a wide grin?
Now if only I could have had a little more light on those beautiful eyes I would be really happy. I found the speckled light the apple trees made a bit of a challenge. It’s hard to complain about shade when you are taking pictures amongst trees, but I wish some in the bunch I took like the one below had more sun in the right spots!
It’s a fun learning process, this photography. Soon I think it will be time to have some instruction. While I can read all sorts of things on the subject, I think there is much that could be learned in person.
Thanks to Sally Russick of the Studio Sublime for bringing this little lesson to us each week!
Love it! Love it! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat photo makes me smile. She is such a little doll.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! She's such a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by - I got to the end of my list and suddenly realized I'd forgotten coffee, which is my morning treat every day!!
Never thought about that but your right you can tell from her eyes she is smiling big!
ReplyDeleteLove your Smile picture. She is a real cutie! I know what your mean about the light. I have learned so much about light over the course of this project.
ReplyDeleteSuch a precious little girl. I love her smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Great pictures, and you haven't tasted apples at ALL until you've had them fresh from the tree. Those look like Macs...they'll be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDarling photos of Averleigh! She looks like she is having fun picking apples.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I can read about my camera but I feel like I could use an instructor.
Just look at that smile,...and those eyes!! How adorable is she?!! How can you not smile while looking at these photos. Great post. Oh,..and my favorite apples are called Cameo apples -they're super great! :-)
ReplyDeleteCute pictures looks like you were having fun... I don't like apples... although I'll often steal my husbands and chew a face into it... sort of a mini jacko'lantern using my teeth and to quote my husband his poor defenseless apple!
ReplyDeleteAverleigh's whole face lights up when she smiles - the apple does not fall far from the tree! (Sorry for the pun, but I had to!) :)
ReplyDeleteAww, Averleigh's smile is infectious! We are huge fans of apple in this household - but this year we didn't get to any pick-your-own farm. Yet :)
ReplyDeleteBest smile yet! and all you saw were the eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! I know it must have been a candid shot, but the way you focused on the apple/hands with the legs and feet blurring just looks so amazing. You're a natural at photography, Emma! I've never been apple picking either, btw. My parents just went recently in Maine and brought back a bunch of apples for us in VA!
