Spring pictures

I'm an advocate for pictures... I love them, but really?  Why do our schools feel obligated to do a spring and fall set of pictures?  Ada really wanted me to buy the fall set of pictures. I really did not. So, I told her that I'd do them myself.  I'm still working with the settings on my camera... so I'll use this post as an example of what my camera can do, and show off my cute model.

In the shade, on auto with the flash for a fill in.

In the shade with some adjustments to the aperture and a color filter.

In the shade, no flash on auto.

Same shot with a warm filter on it.

 



No flash, in the shade with the effects intensity filter... Ada loves this one.  I wish I'd caught it without the filter though... she's just cute when she smiles.

Partial sun with a fill in with on camera flash.

Backlit, no fill flash.

These were all done with the effects intensity filter... fun, but not my favorite for portraits... maybe for landscapes?

Shade, no flash... aperture adjustments with a warming filter.

 

Some pretty fun stuff... and I'm slowly getting used to the light and color balance of this new camera.  And can I say... I just love these kids. When I get this camera down... maybe I'll buy a reflector and experiment with that!
