Another note: find your macro feature on your camera and use it for close up shots. If you don't know where it is, find your manual. If you don't know where that is Google the exact model number of your camera and the word manual and you should find it, usually in a PDF format. Pretty cool, eh?

Photo Tip
Marc is always most impressed with my object photos and I'll give you the secret: you have to use natural light from a window. The white background of the picture in the next post is a white poster board bent into a C shape. I'm just holding it with one hand because Maddy wouldn't stop with her magical play to help me. The only adjustment I made on the camera was to turn on the macro lens to catch some detail because I was up close. Sometimes I use a flat poster board and shoot from the top looking straight down, but I always try to shoot near the window. Doesn't it look purty? And so professional? My dad would dig it (he was a photographer).

When I was at my last Apple class, the guy told me I can actually do green screen stuff with iMovie. I need to find some green butcher paper and do something fun on that and then find some fun clip that I can put Jordan into. Have you ever tried that?
BTW, I seriously thought the picture of the flowers this morning wasn't even yours! That's how awesome it looked, I thought you grabbed from somewhere else!
I really am always impressed by the quality of the images. :) The first time I saw her do this was on her post about those cute skirts she made for Maddy, and like Jen, I too thought she'd snagged those photos from another site.
It's so cool.
