and then she snapped: show {off} your shot

Welcome to all my new readers who have come over from Ashley's blog! I'm so glad you're here! And if you haven't come over from Ashley's blog, you should head over there and wish her a Happy Birthday, so that you can enter to win an awesome and then, she {snapped} camera strap cover! It's what all the cool kids are wearing these days.

I love this photo that Kristen submitted for last weeks show off. I especially love the coloring of it, it's so calming. (This makes two winning beach pictures two weeks in a row! Think maybe I need to head to the coast soon and get my own fix? Yes)!

Kristen, Here is your winner button, wear it with pride!

My tip this week is simple:

Same subject, different angle.

(Feel free to come up with something more catchy...my brain isn't functioning at full capacity right now. Apparently).

Instead of getting bored with your subject shoot from a different perspective. I'll be the first to admit that snack time isn't all that exciting of a photo opporunity (especially since there weren't any oreos involved)...but thinking about shooting from all sorts of different angles helped to liven up this mini little shoot, and I got some shots I maybe normally wouldn't have!

I want to clarify that you can link up any photo you want each week. I don't choose themes, and you DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW MY TIP. I would LOVE if you could share a tip of your own each week, but if you don't have one, please feel free to show {off} your shot anyway!

Now it's your turn! Link up!

~~Rules~~ Guidelines:

~One photo per person, and the photo must be taken by you.

~Blog about your photo and share something about how you took the photo, or how you edited it. (because it is so fun to be able to learn from one another).

~Add my button (below) to your blog post...(text links are ok too, but please do link back to me ~~or I might cry~~)

~Link up to your blog or Flickr page, (but please link up to your specific post and not just your blog homepage...if I can't tell what post you are linking up I will have to delete the entry).

If you have ANY questions, feel free to email me.

I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

I love that beach photo too. I have a bunch of photos from our recent family vacation, and now I can't wait to upload and edit them. Thanks for hosting!

Did you use a storyboard from a website or did you make your own collage for your photos?

Blessings,

I like your tip. Most of the time we cannot even foreseen what impact a different angle could have.

I don't think I commented the other day - snack time is looking great from these perspectives. :)

Love that collage... the one with his socks... love. Doesn't that photo just call you to the water. Pretty.

These photos are amazing! I was just thinking earlier today that I wanted to do this later this evening at a baseball game we're going to. Now I'm definitely going to have to give it a try.

Have a fantastic weekend!

I love all the different angles you chose to show off snack time! What beautiful eye lashes he has! These would make a beautiful black and white series!! Thanks for linking up!
