Nicholas is a new student in the seventh period class.
Today we were working on portraits. He asked to take my picture.
This might be his third week in class. He used an SX 170 Kodak Point and Shoot camera and some soft lights. I think the soft focus is perfect for me at this point of my life.
Not only did he catch the light in the eyes, even with my glasses on, there is no reflection on the lenses. Nice!
I also like that he got my hands with the camera.
How often are you pleased with your own image?
We were testing out the new photo backdrop the kids constructed last Friday. They put it together like a puzzle. (Thanks Connie, Anthony and Madison) We use the old darkroom in the back of the classroom as without the proper ventilation for the chemicals, we had to go digital.
The students used the PVC pipe I bought and Mr. U, the carpentry teacher, helped cut it to the right dimensions.
If you need a photo backdrop, click this link for the $20 DIY plan from Dandelions on the Wall. Actually the total was closer to $40 but it works great!

I think the soft lighting really works here Ruth
Wow! that is a wonderful picture of a wonderful teacher! Nice work Nicholas.
I love it! Captures you perfectly. Great work Nicholas!
Congratulations, Nicholas. The ear ring in the left ear shows up well – another nice feature.
Beautiful photo! You look great and you must feel very proud of your student.
Good effort and great to put a face to a name! Good luck to Nicholas with his photographic studies 🙂
A wonderful photo, Ruth! Keep going, Nicholas, off to a promising start!!!!!
Great photo. Evidently Nicolas is doing something right.
Very nice of you to be a willing subject for your students – and I also like that he got your hands holding your camera into the frame!
Nicolas is a talented young man but, then again, just look at how lovely his subject was. 🙂
Wonderful portrait. Great job Nicholas
