The key word is attempt!

Hi friends!

It is already time for a second blog post! This would have been up sooner if we hadn't have had five snow days in the span of six school days ( shoutout to Mr.Sharrow). The weather worked in my favor this time and blessed me with a foot of snow.

One of my main goals is to try to shoot something new. So I spent part of my snow day outside attempting to take pictures of the falling snow. As the title says, the key word here is ATTEMPT! Since I had never taken pictures in the snow I had to do a bit of research before I went outside. I found out that it actually quite a difficult thing to do for most photographers. Despite that, I decided I would go outside, drag my brother along for the ride, and at least attempt to capture the falling snow. Plus practice makes perfect, although I don't think we will be getting anymore snow here in Midland, Michigan.

This was my first attempt. My camera was on the auto setting with normal flash. 

After adjusting the f-stop and shutter speed, I got a few flakes to look good on camera.

My brother was the real MVP that day ( I totally didn't bribe him to go out in exchange for a snowball fight!)

I hadn't planned on having the snow days and getting the time to work on my project, but I am glad that I had the chance to try something new. It is a little disappointing that my first attempt at something new ended in being a fail. That is okay because it is technically only the first week of this project and I still have a lot of time to grow as a photographer. 

Until next time,

 Your friend Emily Collick
