Week 7

This weekend was beautiful - Spring weather in February, which makes me love El Nino!  We got into the 60s and what better way to spend the time than playing in the park.  Lots of challenges this week because the right time of day to get Carter to have fun was the absolute wrong time of day for lighting ... harsh high noon!  Hope you enjoy the end result!

Photo Details:
Exposure time 1/2500 sec, Aperture f/4.5 ISO 400, Focal Length 50 mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm, handheld

Why This Photo:
Carter is such a little man now, this was really fun to see he and daddy walking together.

Challenges/Lessons Learned:
There was a bike and a sweatshirt and a bunch of white lines in the background.  I pulled them out so the background wasn't as cluttered and tried a few different treatments before landing here.

Photo Details:
Exposure time 1/320 sec, Aperture f/3.5 ISO 400, Focal Length 50 mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm, handheld

Why This Photo:
The background color was great - nice & bright and made Carter's eyes look even bluer.

Challenges/Lessons Learned:
He was sitting in the shade and it was really difficult to get the right exposure, not to mention if he stood up, half his head was in the sun!  I am getting faster at flipping through shutter speeds to get the correct exposure for him.
