Hi my 7 year old loves to pose for the camera so I thought I'd take advantage and have a play with my new (to me!) D300s, with the 50mm 1.8
I usually use flash quite religiously but after ploughing through many online tutorials this weekend (mainly on photoshop which I have just invested in!) but also on lighting, I decided to try some portraits using just natural flash.
She also loves to take pictures so I let her take one of me which I have put on at the end!
Although I like this one I think if I had focussed on her nearer eye the photo would have been technically better. I had it on the 'crosshair' focus (not sure what it's called!) and the focus dot kept moving around... How do I position it and get it not to move!? aaarrgh!
This one I love her eyes in and I upped saturation in PS to give it a bit more oompf...too vivid though? I'm not sure ...personal taste I guess!
This is the one she took of me...I like it! Think I might have to watch she doesn't steal my camera!
Any constructive critique gratefully received!
Thanks a lot
