Will I ever get better?

Here are some kiddo pics from today, trying to figure out my new flash and they were pretty good about sitting while mama played with all the buttons on the back of the flash.

haha...the babies face in 2nd picture is pricelsss! I like the compositions but maybe if the flash were bounced it would add a bit more depth to the lighting.

I actually did have the flash bounced off the ceiling

Hey Shannon!

It looks to me as though you are getting better. I think the lighting in your pictures is very even and very pleasing to the eye (not to mention the cute kids).

You might look into a Sto-Fen Bounce Diffuser. I use them on both my flashes and they create an amazing soft, even lighting. They are a soft plastic bit you slide over your flash and cost less than $20.

Keep shooting. I think you're doing great.

Thanks Tom!!! I'm trying. I've got this new flash to play with now and gosh it's got a ton of buttons on it I've got to learn about. Holy Cow, just when I thought I was gettin' it
