Sisters

Camera: E-1
ISO: 400
Program: Aperture priority
Aperture: f3.5
Shutter: 1/250


Gave this a slight crop and straighten and used a preset (free download) called 'fancy snapshot' in Lightroom. Since using Lightroom I now like to edit every photo! I've probably gone a bit over the top - sometime you don't know if you've made things better or worse. Sometimes there's not a whole heap of difference.
Here is the sooc version of today's photo so you can see. Lacks a bit of contrast and "pop" I guess. Although it did look better before I uploaded here.

Chocolatey black and white conversion in Lightroom.

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.

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.

Camera: E-1 - 14-54mm
Program: Aperture Priority
ISO: 100
Aperture: f5.6 (this was by accident, I'd hit the wrong dial - I'd wanted a shallower DOF)
Shutter: 1/100
Focal length: 54mm
Bounce flash



Jemima and I had a little photo shoot. Usually I shoot black and white on black background only, but I decided to try for something high-key this time. Not sure if it's strictly high-key, but I like it :)

Today's photo was soooo hard to pic. Photo shoot with a gorgeous little guy today and they were all so brilliant. The light was fantastic so the shots were beautifully bright and vibrant, the colours were great, but this black and white shot is my fave I think. He looks so cheeky!
