I have some more submissions to share with you!

Bethany Hoskin, of AB, wrote, “I’m scrapbooking a favorite toy page for my 6 yr old, so decided to practice on his Bakugans. He was happy to be my photo designer, setting them all up for me to photograph.”   What a great way to include your child in your assignment – Great job, Logan!  And you too, Bethany!

Karen Aldrin, of the U.K., sent me a couple of photos for this assignment, as well.  She used her 50mm f/1.8 lens and as you can see in this first photo, the prime lens opened at the widest aperture gives Karen an incredibly narrow depth of field:

In her second submission, she used a wider aperture of f/3.2, which increases the depth of field but still blurs the background nicely:

Mmmmm, garlic!  Being Italian, this photo “speaks” to me! LOL!  Thanks for your beautiful submissions, Karen!

Sonia Rodriguez, of QC, also sent me a submission this month – I love the colour in this photo – and what great focus!

This reminds me of Grade 9 Home Economics class… :D   Thanks for submitting, Sonia!

I love seeing everyone’s work, and sharing it with our blog followers - please keep on submitting!

Cheers!

Sue

  • About Sue

    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.



    Sue has been married to her best friend, Gary, for over 10 years and has two children, Connor and Aili. She considers herself very fortunate to be so lucky to work not only for herself, but also to be involved with Canadian Scrapbooker - both of which combine her passion for scrapbooking and writing!
