My Overthinking

Philly Area mom, Life forever changed by adoption

{Purposeful Giveaway} Angela Braniff Photography

Some friends who are volunteering with The Sparrow Fund came over for dinner last week. They are adorable. They graduated last spring. Got married right away. And, since she’s from a family of 6 kids, they don’t seem to mind the chaos of our 4 running around as we try to talk.

We talked about how we (okay, just me) wish we could get married again so we could have some phenomenal pictures like they have–he comes from a line of amazing photographers and the gene definitely didn’t skip Ben. We have some nice pictures–but nothing like what cool people like the Leamans get nowadays. 
It’s pretty interesting how 13 years has changed the role pictures have in our lives. Perhaps it’s blogs and social media that have helped to make photography more important today. 
For people like me who long to have really good pictures of our families among the thousands stored on our hard drives, there’s help…help with a purpose.

When Christoper and Angela Braniff started the adoption process to bring home a little girl from the Congo last spring to become their third daughter, they knew they’d have to fundraise to see this adoption to completion. As a professional photographer, Angela realized she could do something to help others and fundraise to bring Rose home. 
And, so her photography e-book was created based on a beginner’s class she taught.

50 pages full of images coupled with practical photography instruction for people who don’t know what they are doing besides trying to get some pretty pictures. Whether you have an expensive DSLR that you keep stuck on automatic or a little point-and-shoot, you can get something out of this e-book to transform they way you “do” pictures.

getting blur when you want it and clarity when you want it; aperture, shutter speed, and ISO; composition, focus, and metering; exposure triangle; lens guidance…and more.

Angela just dropped the price of the download to a low $15.00 – $15 to teach you some basics of photography…and help bring Rose home to her family.

Total win-win. And, a great gift idea for a bloggy friend or someone in your family you don’t want to just give another “thing” to.

And, she’s giving one person here a free download.

Sweet.

  1. I would love to be able to understand how to use the different modes on my camera to change the aperture, iso, and shutter speed. I’m decent with them, but still really don’t understand.

  4. I would love to win this..I am clueless on how to use my camera…even the basics cause me to get frustrated.

  5. I would love to be able to tell what I need to do with the light I have to be able to see the people in the pictures.

  6. I have a fancy sony alpha I don’t know how to use. Sometimes I get lucky but mostly I don’t. The lighting is terrible in Alaska this time of year ;) I’d like more advice on shooting in florescent lights, dimly lit areas, and shooting the northern lights. I haven’t figured out how to adjust the shutter speed. :/

  8. I need to learn how to take better photos!

  11. I shoot professionally, but I would love to get this for my good friend who is learning exposure and the exposure triangle.

  12. I have a new camera and have no idea what to do! I am so afraid to even try it, so it sits all pretty in the bag with a fancy strap! Help!
