Low Light and Better Composition

The Artist

Within the last month I discovered a few things about taking pictures.  1.)  I love to be behind the camera but you miss a lot of action that way.  2.)  I really like to photograph people, pets, and buildings and that's about it.  Of course I find the rest beautiful but I think I'll admire the work of others for the most part and put faces in my frames. 

So this picture is of the artist in the family who is intense on so many levels.  This grandchild is most always a willing subject for my photo experiments so I photograph her a lot. I think of all the kids she is the one who understands my "need" to do this so she indulges me.  That, and she knows she photographs well!


I try to take the best photo I can and then head to PS Elements to do the rest.  This image was taken with a single incandescent light with an ISO of 800.
