This Is Our Life Project – Week 5 Wrap Up

And here is our beautiful group of images from the This Is Our Life photo project for Week Five. The theme was Finding the Light … as most photographers know, light can make or break a photo and turn a ho-hum image into something spectacular. The images submitted this past week were shining examples of just how gorgeous light transforms a photo!

For those wanting to find out more details or if you are just interested in lifestyle photography in general and want some helpful tips and examples, please check out the very informative post on lifestyle photography and This Is Our Life.

For my fifth week in the This Is Our Life project I captured a tiny sliver of early morning sunshine lighting up my little girl’s face as she was lost gazing at the birds flying by our window.

Edited with Luminosity actions – Lavish BW, Film Haze and Rich Deep Matte. Shot with a Nikon 85mm 1.4G lens at ISO 800, f1.4, 1/200 second.

Before we get to the featured images of the week, here is the prompt for week six of the This Is Our Life project (Good Morning). Whatever comes to mind when you think of your mornings … something in your day to day routine, the thing that you must have to start your day out right or the little details that always bring smiles in the mornings.

There are always an overwhelming number of fabulous and touching images submitted and it’s very difficult just picking a few to feature! See the original photo (uncropped and larger) by clicking the corresponding link below the collage.
