Practice, practice & more practice

Some recent impromptu practice shots I took of one of my favorite subjects, my oldest granddaughter. I am just learning to use my camera manually and will jump at any chance to practice that I can get.  I wish I had more subjects like her... always willing to let me practice.  As you can see she is very photogenic and has got the 'posing' down. lol  (Now I need remember things like flyaway hair before I take the pictures, not after.  I still haven't been able to figure out how to photoshop them out.)   She grabbed some 'props' from the playroom and even set them up the way she wanted.  All I did was snap the pics.
