Trying to practice and keep up momentum


I am trying to keep up my momentum of photography since my class is now over (sad!) Yesterday I found myself at the local zoo with my girls. They love the animals and seeing them, but the real highlights of yesterday's visit were ice cream cones and carousel rides. I got some cute pictures of them in both situations. I just want to share 2 here.

This is R on the carousel.
1/60
f/4
ISO-100
30 mm

I did run the "Fresh and Colorful" action from the Pioneer Woman's Action Set #1. I believe I decreased the opacity of the light layer just a tad so it wouldn't look too overexposed.

This is A during ice cream time.
1/30
f/4.5
ISO-200
35 mm

I tried running the same action on this photo, but the general consensus was that it made it a little too something. Maybe the yellow shirt and pink jacket were just too much. I was trying to use the leading lines of the bricks to draw the focus of the picture to the subject. And I decided getting a little kid to pose is kind of hard when she is being silly and eating ice cream.
