New Year's Resolution already broken!

It has only been a week into 2010, and I've already broken my new year's resolution to take at least one picture every day so that I can improve my photography skills. In my defense, however, Brandon was out of town on business, and I was extremely busy yesterday (not that I'm making any excuses or anything!). So, I'm just going to pretend like yesterday never happened (play along with me, ok???)


I tried photographing Gavin again today, and it was a complete bust! He would NOT cooperate at all. I know I could always use the whole "I'll give you a piece of candy" bribe, but I just didn't feel like dealing with a kid on a sugar high right before nap time. After all, Brandon was still away on business, and I NEEDED Gavin to take a nap! I did manage to get 3 pictures taken, of which, 2 are complete trash, and the third one isn't even good! The first one was completely over-exposed, and entirely unfixable in Photoshop. The second one, was the only useable one, and even in that one, the focus isn't even on Gavin. The third one didn't even show any details of Gavin's face because all of the focus fell on the sofa that was behind him. Oh well :( Now you see why I made my resolution to try and improve! Ha! I'll be interested to see what my photos look like by the end of the year!
