A friend asked me to come over and take pix of her kids and their cousins who were all in town at one time for a change.. She knows I'm a real amateur and just starting to figure all this stuff out... My only equipment is my D70s, 18-70mm zoom and 70-300mm zoom. I know I need to get a reflector if I am going to being doing much of this...

Basically I like this picture.. but I know it could be better.... something about the arms bothers me I think.. but maybe it's something else I just can't put my finger on...

EXIF: Manual shot with D70s, 18mm f6.3 1/250, ISO 400..


TIA

    I first had to check and make sure I hadn't wandered into the Whipping Post. Since you didn't post this shot there, I guess I can safely say "I like it alot!" It may not be technically perfect, but I think you did a great job. I like the off-centered crop. I don't know how one would get this shot centered if they tried short of being suspended directly over the subject. Looks like everyone was having a lot of fun and I bet this will give your friend lots of laughs and pleasure. thumb.gif

    Very cute!

    I agree, all eyes open might make it better.

    Another thing, a thing that would be hard to pull off, is to put your camera precisely at the center of the circle, looking down. Then their faces would all be square to the camera and look the same.

    Love their enthusiasm!
