Thanks to Michelle Bjarnason who submitted the following two photos for our October assignment (see here and here for Parts I and II!).

Note the big difference that using a slower shutter speed can have! By using a fastershutter speed in the second image, Michelle was able to darken the background and areas surrounding the candle, using the candle only to illuminate her daughter’s face. Thanks for sharing, Michelle!
Happy Clicking!

Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.
