Finding the Light

So I just started Deitra's Finding the Light workshop!  (http://thelightworkshop.wordpress.com)   I am taking the course as a non-participant, but already I've gotten so much out of the information.  The first assignment is to capture what's called "dramatic backlighting".  Seeing as how my only model right now is a wily 15-month-old, I decided to use some inanimate objects to practice the technique.  What do you think?

 

Apples and LAAFFs

Happy Labor Day Weekend!  This weekend we celebrated by attending two very different community festivals, the Apple Festival and the Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival (also known as LAAFF).  One festival is an autumn harvest celebration while the other celebrates all the freaky diversity Asheville has to offer.  Let's see if you can tell which pictures goe with which festival.  (Both were marvelous, by the way.)
