STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

The first photo:
-- it’s out of focus
-- avoid showing only the thumb. Either show most (if not all) of the hand, or none of the hand.
-- instead of doing the corner eye look, work on just nailing a pretty decent straight on headshot.
-- lastly, avoid shooting on railroad tracks. :) It's just way overdone.
The third photo:
-- try shooting eye level instead of shooting down on them.
-- try to capture dynamic, funny, or cute moments. They are kids, they have lots of those. :)
-- some basic examples below:
