Playing with Light

I have been  playing with light lately, both off camera  flash and  ambient lighting only .  Here are two recent  shots I have been playing with.

Only one light in the room, a table lamp about ten feet to the left of the piano.

One off camera flash at 90 degrees to the left of the bulb.  Three ambient lights one to the left, one to the right and one behind.

Kids that won't stop moving

I have two very active children.  Most days I can ask nicely and get a few shots of them. But, every now and then we have a day like today where they wouldn't let me get a shot. 

I shot about 20 frames and these are the only two that I liked.  I should also add that I was shooting without a flash and trying to get a bit of bokeh in the background so I wouldn't have to straighten the room.

My son did well and his face is nicely in focus.  My daughter on the otherhand just wouldn't stop, she isn't quite in focus, but I do love this photo of her.  She was trying to hide behind her Daddy's legs but, I could still see her.

Fall Landscape Bokeh

Miz Booshay put up a Fall Landscape Bokeh assignment over on Pioneer Woman's Photography Site on Thursday.  And today I decided to take my camera with me on a little walk to see what I could find.

The weather is cloudy and threatening rain, but I was able to find some beauty stashed away, and so close to home.

Welcome to Anna Epp Photography

I have been a photographer since I was 12 years old.  I am now nearing 40.  When I wrote myself a list of 10 things to do before 40, taking my photography to the next level was one of them.

Late last year I was asked to shoot a wedding for a young couple.  That request took me to where I needed to be mentally.  It started with one request and has been building for the last year.

To see a full portfolio of my weddings and portraits, please go to my Photography site: Anna Epp Photography.  Here, on my blog, I will post some of my shoots that will not always make it to my site.

If you wish to contact me for a shoot feel free to send me an email through my contact page and I will respond to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your visit.
