This is a shot i took today to practice motion.  I looked stupid taking this in the supermarket but it was worth it.

So here is a photo I took today.  Its something that has been done before but I have not tried myself. I used a flashlight over the top of the ring and angled it to give the heart shadow. The flashlight also gave a nice tint around the corners of the image.

This is a photo i took for my first project in digital 1.  Before this program, i never experimented with shooting manually.  During the beginning of this project, my photos were very underexposed and I was getting frustrated because I had to figure out how to take a photo with the right depth of field.  In this photo i got it and for me it got better from there.  I practiced on different objects, in different light and found one image i will use for my project.  This photo was my ah-ha moment and gave me confidence to throughout the rest of the project.
