Ok. Not my proudest moment, but I committed to about once a week or so you're getting the good, the bad and the ugly. I don't think I've hit ugly, yet, but...
My baby loves nutcrackers and wanted a picture with all his nutcrackers. He painstakingly set them all up. I thought I would get the benefit of some afternoon sun on the stairs, but I still needed the flash. I tried it in every imaginable direction except directly at him. This shot is at 1/200, ISO 800, f/4.5 - I had all kind of variations for shutter speed and aperture. I just happen to like his focus (and his bedhead).
He loves to pose - this totally captures his "I'm a serious model look." I'm am still playing with all the Lightroom presets in addition to the basic adjustments I make. Top is using Aged Photo and the bottom is right out of the camera. I really like the focus on his face without losing all the color.
I'm learning here - would love any comments from any of you experienced shutterbugs out there.
