Playing at the park.

It was a wonderful day here in Vegas so the kids went to the park. I snapped this as he was playing and stopped to see what I was doing.

I am practicing my manual settings in "real" world shooting conditions. Man, it tough to change settings on the fly!

Well, I think he is cute...so there!

His eyes are beautiful. They match the shirt. Did you photoshop that or is that their real color?

He does have the most beautiful eyes. Great job shooting that in manual. You're braver than me. With little ones around this age I just choose to shoot in Priority.

Thanks! Yes, those are his "real" eyes. I did lighten them just a tiny bit but they are really that blue and his shirt brings them out.

I did some more heavy photoshoping around his mouth and shirt...2 year olds and food don't make for good photos!

And, yes, manual settings are hard these situations! I was going nuts trying to keep changing settings! That was the idea though to help me get better.

Thanks again for the comments. Below is another good shot of his eyes.
