Portrait Thursday

I am trying this new thing. 

I want to take better pictures. 

Not just in general, but me. 

I want to learn how to pose and become more photogenic. 

My sister, is super photogenic, this is not a family trait. 

I do have, apparently, this chronic disease though. 

I close my eyes, almost every other picture. 

I will call it the 

Chronic Eye Shutting Condition.

or CESC, for short. 

But hopefully, on this journey I will over come CESC. 

Starting with this picture, 

one can only grow right?

My 1st Portraits

You might remember this post about my new lens:

Well, I got to take some portraits the other day, 

and I had a blast! 

I think she did too. 

I heard Sheri talking with her sister, 

saying she looked hot in the pictures. 

So I guess, job well done!

I didn't get paid, for this, I am just learning.

I am just experimenting with this new lens, 

and gaining experience. 

Here are some before and afters:

 

I really didn't do much editing, 

I, personally, am not a big fan, 

of extremely edited pictures....

At least for portraits. 

So what do you think of my first try?
