Experimenting with my new (used) camera

Elliot's Nature Photography

I haven't started cleaning the closets YET.  So here I am again:)
Elliot participated in a photography class at our library yesterday.  He was encouraged to enter his best in a contest that starts next month.  I'd love to have your vote for the one we should submit.

My favorite.  This is not a black and white photo.  It was just really cloudy that day. He said that when he looked up to take that picture, he felt like he was at home in his back yard. 

This is Elliot's favorite.

Blurry but with a dream like quality

the leaves last forever here, since we don't have heavy snows

Monday Mugs, Minimalist Shot

I'm still learning all the technical photography terms, so I'm not sure which of these would be considered minimalist.  The second calls to the minimalist me, the girl within. I used to imagine myself as a tiny person who could live in a doll house or in a fairy house in the woods.   The first one was taken by Emily, who is skilled at capturing Elliot in his naturally active and often silly expressions.
