Just call me optimistic, but it has been a fantastic spring for all things photography! 'Tis the season to grab your camera of choice and walk around outside. Get back in shape by shooting-on-the-fly and walking to your destinations where possible. What have you been doing to challenge yourself? Maybe you've been able to take advantage of Chicago's light "winter" and schedule photo shoots outside unseasonably a few months early, maybe you spent an extra hour exploring a new corner of town to use as a future backdrop, or maybe you've been getting to know other photographers and attending gallery openings and other creative events. Either way, if you are interested in wiping the dust off your lenses and getting out there, these have all been good places to start for me!
In March, I wanted to take advantage of the still crisp early evenings and city lights and this year did a two hour shoot outside! Thankfully it wasn't too chilly and I'm pretty happy with the way that everything turned out! It was also nice that it wasn't too crowded because less people were staying outside. We had plenty of time to set up poses, keeping in mind composition and coloring. Everything went so well that we were able to do one outside shoot and one indoor shoot. Let me know what you think!

I'm looking for critics! What do you think of the Chelfoto Blog so far?
