Beautiful Bethany

I left Jim to hang out with Jared, Sydy and Soybean so that I could take some photos of Bethany around camp. We had so much fun and she loves the camera. I got so many favorites shots and the only edits I made to them were converting some of them to black and white.
This is my absolute favorite!! I am going to get a huge enlargement of it and hang it at camp. I love her expression and I love how I had her look away from the camera. The catch lights in her eyes are so natural and the light was perfect.

My original idea was to photograph her in this bed of ferns. Turns out that these were much harder to get. The bugs were really bad and the lighting was really weird. Anytime I take a picture of the babies on our lane, the color is really off. This happened with the pictures of Bethany too. Oh well, I got so many more from other areas of camp, that the ferns turned out to be no big deal.

This last image is one of Bethany's favorites. It is close second for me too. I shot this as a black and white in the camera. I love how black and white look right out of the camera. The only limitation of doing it this way is that I don't always take one of the same image in color. No problem, this image just begs to be in black and white.
