If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops...

I'd be intensely obese. (Not counting the fact I'm border line Who doesn't love a good lemon drop?)

Took a few photos of my 4 year old daughters "boyfriend" playing in our sprinklers today. One really stood out to me so I thought I'd share.

I know nothing about lighting, shutter speed, etc. (sorry) I'm just a girl with a camera who enjoys taking photos and playing with editing. I have enjoyed this site for such a long time and love all of the amazing work you put into what you do!

Thanks for looking.

the water droplets look cool! i know u said u dont know about shutter speed, etc. but can you maybe tell what settings your camera used? what mode did you use? or at least what body and lens?

thanks

iCandi

Of course! I just use a plain Jane Canon Digital Rebel. (boo!)

I had the dial turned to action/motion (the little running man).

I waited until the overcast came from the day and snapped the picture. I was really surprised by the lighting on his face too. I generally have really horrible shadows, patchy blotches, etc. All the great things you never want to see in a photo, so I was pleasently surprised!

Great shot.

Ha! Awesome catch!

Really nice. Some one must have done at least a little work on it after it came out of the camera. (unsharp mask?)

Yep. Just used Corel. I did a little digital noise removal and added the "vivid" photo effect option. I have CS4 but I'm terrified of it!
