Fun Photos

This weekend was my little great nephew Ben's 3rd birthday.  Ok.  How can I be old enough to have great anythings?  Until Sunday, I'm still just 40.  But I digress.  Becky threw a splendid Cars birthday party for Ben, complete with a Cars cake...pinata...and rain.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the party:

That's great-grandpa Ernie with Jadyn, Ben, Ryan, Sean & Logan. 
 
Jadyn, striking a pose.
 
Ben, the birthday boy.

Little Ryan...he's 2.

Sean, with his big 'ol hunk of fool's gold.

Logan.  The social events planner.  Made sure everyone had a great time!

There's my handsome husband!

And this is Stevie.  Isn't she a doll?  This is my favorite photo from the day.

I am learning so much in my photography class.  Fill the frame with your story.  Change viewpoints.  Quit shooting in auto.  Play with aperture & light.  Don't use a flash.  Metering (which I so don't have down yet).  White balance (ditto).  It has made my hyper critical of my photos.  I could tell you tons of things that are wrong with each & everyone of these....but you know what?  I don't even care.  They are great photos from my little nephews party & they tell a story of a really great birthday party.  Really, that's all that matters.   I can't wait to scrapbook them!  You'll be seeing them shortly I'm sure.
