Capturing the emotion

  Capturing a slice of life is something I enjoy doing at any given time,  whether it is a family occasion or something I see as I'm walking down the street.  When I have my camera, my intent is getting some type of emotional  moment in an image.
   Feature images are a large part of why I decided to pursue photography.  Getting the best composition, lighting , aperture and shutter speed, will be issues to consider and work with for every type of image.

  I originally planned on capturing girl's 16th birthday party as my event for this assignment.  However, there were others at the pool who provided great rover images.   I decided to use the pool photos as rovers. and looked around for a suitable event image.
