Affirmative Assignment

Welcome back to Assignment Wednesday! Here is a quick refresher of what your assignment was:

-- Affirmative --

This should be a fun assignment. Basically it's just a goal to take pictures of things that suggest something showing an affirmation or approval. Suggestions of thumbs up, applause, those foam "we're #1" fingers, etc... Make sure you have some fun yourselves as well!

On Saturday night, Rachel and Tyler had a private, gourmet meal at her home cooked by her parents before we did our portrait session. I'm talking lobster, filet mignon, the works! So when Rachel's plate was set down before her, without even prompting her, I got this:

Classic! It didn't make the "keeper" stack from the shoot, but it was the perfect shot for my assignment this week. I hope you were able to try this assignment. If you did, just post a comment to this blog and add a link to where you keep it.

Next week's assignment:

Review my post from a few days ago on "Depth of Field" and try making two portraits of someone. One where the background is very close to them (think leaning against a fence or wall) and one where they are much further away from the background. It should be an obvious difference in the depth of field and one of them will probably be a much more pleasant portrait.
