A couple candids

RBrogen

Here's a couple candids of my little princess. C&C welcome

EDIT: Replaced #2 with a warmer version.

#1: Tested out a technique running at f/11 in the middle of the day to drop the ambient light to make it appear as if you are shooting at night. The two shots here were taken moments apart.


#2 I just loved her little expression

I love these shots. You are one lucky daddy!

BTW, the second one is somewhat bluish on my monitor. The f/22 seemed to work wonderfully well in the first shot as that looks like a night shot and highlights her very well.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Randy, I like em both..with #2 being my favourite. Its the expression that wins me over. That photo will get even better as the years pass by.
As far as the f22 concept, I'll have to give that a try.

Cheers

Interesting! I haven't tried that overpowering daylight/sun type of thing yet. It looks really cool. I do love #2, though, because her expression is just too cute.

Love both of them for what they represent, the serious study of what she has in her hands in number 1 and the personality and happiness in the second one. Hard to pic.

Looks like you had a fun weekend with the kids and the camera. Very nice shots of your two adorable children.

Thanks all for the kind words...I'm very lucky...and in "BIG TROUBLE" with this one lol.

David/Mari: That shot was actually at f/11....I thought at first it was f/22 but I double-checked it and the funny thing is that the sun acted as both ambient lighting which was blocked almost entirely by the high f-stop and as the primary light which is why I thought it was a different result. The difference being is that the ambient light behind her was in the shade of the trees which broke into direct sunlight right where she was sitting resulting in a "spot light" effect.
