Camera: E-3 (Dad's camera)
Program: Aperture priority
ISO: 800
Aperture: f4.0
Shutter: 1/30 (I must have a steadier hand than I thought)
Focal length: 35mm
No flash


Converted to black and white in Lightroom - it's quite shadowy and contrasty for a baby shot but I like it :)

My sister-in-law has these beautiful photos on her wall of her babies holding their toes like this and I wanted to copy! My first two never held their toes so when she started doing it I grabbed the camera quick smart :D The flash wasn't charged however and it was a very dark and rainy day so I had to crank up the ISO and even then the shutter speed was very slow. So not very sharp.

Camera: E-1
Program: Aperture priority
ISO: 200
Aperture: f3.4
Shutter: 1/20 (...I know... see below pic for explanation)
Focal length: 47mm
Bounce flash


Newborn photo shoot today. I had sooooo many favourites so hard to pick which should be my photo for today but I do like this one.
I love the DOF, love the contrast. Love the tattoos and the baby... love the juxtaposition.
Converted to black and white in Lightroom and made the blacks 'blacker' to get a good contrast without blowing out the lighter elements.
Used an external flash bounced off the ceiling, and I am having major problems with shutter speed with flash attached. I'm getting a really slow shutter speed which means although it's not toooo bad because the flash is 'freezing' the capture, the images aren't as sharp as they should be. Hrmph.
