My Favorite Photography Subject

I have long considered nature and wildlife as my favorite subjects to photograph. I don't like photographing people very much because there is too much pressure on making them look good because they expect every shot I take to be a miracle shot.

However, now I have a new favorite subject. My niece, Mackenzie, was born 13 months ago and she has captured my heart and focus. She is incredibly active and photogenic! Last Friday she had to hold onto things to walk around. Then when I went to visit her a few days later, she was walking all by herself! She's growing up so fast.

Here are a few shots of her first birthday taken last week. I used Lightroom to apply filters to some for interesting effects. You can see additional photos at my Flickr page.

Lightbox 2.4 plugin for Wordpress

These are just some tests of the Lightbox 2.4 plugin for Wordpress. Version 2.4 was released earlier this week, so I thought I'd give it a try.

My model today is my beautiful niece, Mackenzie.
