A Beautiful Afternoon

I have been trying, ever so slowly, to learn how to take decent pictures. With this shoot, I was working on aperture and shutter speed. None of the photos have been edited- I realize they need it- I just wanted to get them up. The success of the shoot for me was that almost all of the pictures are in focus, which is difficult with a wiggly baby! I was able to get a more appropriate shutter speed as well as use the selective focus feature and that seemed to really help.

Hey- maybe if I move over just a titch, I can get the house out of the background. Duh!

Tried to just focus on her feet. Didn't work too well. And on top of that, as I look at the finished shot, I should have obviously focused on her hand.

Oh yeah- white balance. So many things to remember!

Now it's starting to get dark.

How many calories does this stuff have?

Amazing how much fun a box can be!
