It isn't easy, and it isn't very often, but it IS better than what I was doing before! Love these pictures, especially the awkward jumping fail one! :)Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679609840346432088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434636463963631769.post-2065508802060402272012-04-25T15:21:18.079-05:002012-04-25T15:21:18.079-05:00Augh.

as i said in the pos...aw, you're welcome, Eve! <br />as i said in the post, only about 10 out of 400 photos will turn out :) it takes me <i>forever</i> to get the focus just right! i think it is easier with a manual focus lens, though, since you have complete control over the focus. it just takes time. and if you have something that's in or around the spot you'll be standing in, like a tree branch or a large rock, you can focus on that then sit or stand next to it and adjust the focus until it's where you want it :)<br />i hope that helps!<br />xoxo,<br />gracieLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513852136219770989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434636463963631769.post-88973557042509679712012-04-25T12:19:03.256-05:002012-04-25T12:19:03.256-05:00you. you are awesome. and the shot of you laughing...you. you are awesome. and the shot of you laughing is just priceless and i love it and i have to email you about something! or skype. whatever.<br />-jocee <3Joceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720602045776414220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434636463963631769.post-74883688465112609652012-04-25T12:09:49.609-05:002012-04-25T12:09:49.609-05:00perfect. you're adorable.perfect. you're adorable.Jenn Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489681148073963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434636463963631769.post-38184930953948393872012-04-25T12:00:16.066-05:002012-04-25T12:00:16.066-05:00wow. i love this! thank you so much--when i saw th...wow. i love this! thank you so much--when i saw this post on my dashboard, i actually said out loud: "thank you!" :D haha i think i need to get my brother into photography so i can get some self portraits. :) thanks for the inspiration Gracie.Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848214772307670756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434636463963631769.post-1348340937345105902012-04-25T11:58:16.265-05:002012-04-25T11:58:16.265-05:00Thank-you so much for this post!
