Shooting From The Hip

I don't know much about photography, but once in a while, I get a nice shot or two. Here are some pictures I took Sunday.

In these first shots I was playing around with the shoot from the hip method where, instead of looking through the viewfinder or the camera's display screen, you just point the camera in the general direction of the subject and click. It's fun, but thank goodness for digital cameras. I'd have wasted a lot a film by missing my subjects too often.

In these last photos, Kat was on her jungle gym. Shane had just draped an old tent over the top temporarily to afford some shade, which changed the lighting drastically from it's usual brightness.
