Catching up

I am playing catch up on my photography course with Karen Russel. I have been reading and downloading the lessons but just not 100% completing and uploading the assignments. So today my goal was to get weeks 2 and 3 up (thank goodness it's break week) and here are a couple of photos from those assignments.

I love this photo of Dylan. Using a fast shutter speed I was able to freeze the motion of water. He loved that i just left the hose and let him play. He gave me that look, am I really allowed to have free rain of the hose?!

Then this evening I worked on Aperture. I love this photo. This first flag is in focus and the rest of the photo isn't. The photo has a shallow depth of field as I used a wide aperture (f1.4).
