simple

I've been taking a photography class to learn more about my camera.
This week we talked about the "rules" of photography.
In these photos, I used pattern (the tiles) with an uncluttered
background to attempt to create a simple photo.



The other thing we talked about in class was viewpoint.
Our teacher said that almost never can you get the best shot by standing straight up.
You'll almost always get a better shot by getting down on the floor,
up on a chair and shooting down, etc.
So for these, I was laying flat on my stomach.
Yes, it was interesting :)

I agree. My best picture of my pup came from me laying on the ground at his level!
These pictures are cute, especially with those cute pink toes!

I miss my blogging friends! I haven't been on here for days it seems. I am going to have to do some more of these simple pics, they really are my favorites! I love the floors by the way, it is what I would like to put in my upstairs bath. Downstairs I have linoleum squares of black and white, cheap but does the job for now. Keep up the cute stuff!
