This was my favorite photo of this photoshoot. I happened to have deer come into my backyard while I had a telephoto lens, which allowed me to get some really cool photos of them. I liked this one the best because the deer’s eyes are in focus, and the background is blurred so it doesn’t distract too much. I thought the angle was also kind of interesting, because you can see both of their ears. There’s a bit of blur over the whole photo because I had taken the picture through a window and didn’t realize there was a reflection, but I don’t think it distracts too much.

I liked this one because it’s one of the most clear photos I got. There’s also a tree in the background that somewhat frames the deer. The main thing that bugs me is that I think the forehead is the most in focus as opposed to the eyes. The fence is also peeking into the photo, which I would have preferred to not be there.

I like how in this one his head is kind of peeking out from behind a bush. The background is a bit busy though, and you can really see the reflection in the window for this one.

In this one, the deer’s head is behind the bush, which I thought looks interesting. Especially since you can see the rest of their body. I would have liked for the deer to be a bit clearer, since they don’t draw your attention quite as much as I would have liked, but I still like the composition. The leaves in the bush also make it just a bit busy.

This is my favorite photo from this photoshoot. The green scarves highlight her eyes, and there was a light off to the right that you can see reflected in her eyes. For this one I used a prop, the green scarves, and also focused on just her eyes. I thought this came out really well, and I’m quite happy with it.

I like how the light looks on her face, and the umbrella helps draw your attention to that. I thought her expression also looked nice, because she’s kind of smiling but looks very calm. The water droplets on the umbrella I thought added a nice touch as well. I used a prop for this photo, as well as her looking off frame.

While I like the contrast between the darker green brushes and the subject, I was having a bit of trouble with getting the lighting right. The sky kept being either too bright, or the photo was too dim. I took the photo from below to alter the perspective.

I took a lot of pictures this week, it took me quite a while to sort through them, and I had quite a few more pictures I really liked that I didn’t put here.

This ended up being my favorite picture. Which I found kind of funny since I had gone to specifically take pictures of the swans and geese, and took a couple pictures of this crow but they turned out really well. I like how his head is tilted, and that it’s in focus. You can see the feathers really well, and the lighting was good.

I really loved how you can see the light through the feathers of their wings, it created a really gorgeous effect. Their wings are also spread out in a similar way, which looks very cool.

Settings: Canon EOS Rebel SL2, f/6.3, 1/1000 sec, ISO-800

All these birds are flapping their wings in a similar shape, which I think looks very cool. While I really like this photo, the birds weren’t as in focus as some of my other photos, so it isn’t quite my favorite.

Settings: Canon EOS Rebel SL2, f/9, 1/1000 sec, ISO-800

I loved how the lines of trees create a kind of gradient on this one. Dark trees on the bottom, lighter green, then the sky. I thought it contrasted very well, and the wing is very clear.

Settings: Canon EOS Rebel SL2, f/10, 1/1000 sec, ISO-800

This one is so close to being one of my favorites, but the trailer in the direct middle of the background really bugs me. I loved that one bird is just taking off, and you can very clearly see their wings, while all the other birds are facing the same direction. The background is just not that great unfortunately.

Settings: Canon EOS Rebel SL2, f/2.1, 1/1000 sec, ISO-800

I enjoyed this one because the swan in the center is much taller than most other birds, so they stick out more. I did feel like the photo looks a bit busy, and I might’ve crouched more to have the one swans head stick up more.
