Motion Studies

Here are a few of my practice runs with freezing and blurring motion by using gimmicks on my Cannon SD790 point and shoot. I've found that the auto-correcting imagery are making things a little more difficult to take pictures, but there are some work-arounds I've managed to hammer out. For one, ISO seems to be the only way to capture motion on my camera currently and it suffers terribly in low light situations with excessive image noise.

Portrait Assignment

My sister, Melissa Strait, taking time our of her vanity to giggle.

My dog, Max, looking at me with barely veiled apathy.

These two were shot as an attempt at an unconventional portrait photo. My official assignment is the first and second. In the third I just wanted to see if I could get Max to sit still long enough for a camera to snap a picture in dim light.
