Photography Experiments

This is one of the first pictures that I took. I read a blog somewhere that mentioned when taking photos of people, to not have them centered.

Centered photos were like mug shots. So I played with taking this shot of my mom as we were out to breakfast off center.

I should have listened to my camera however. The flash popped up, but silly me thought it would wash out the photo.

The only thing that really worked I think, is the background. I wanted the foreground to be in focus and the background to be slightly out of focus.

Still, I wish I knew why the image was grainy though...
