Yippee! Today I get to spend the day with Hailey and Landyn. I had to do some day off switching at work, but it worked out for the best because Hailey is out of school (Veteran's Day).
Peanut and I decided to take some photos while Miss Hailey was having her lunch. In 75% of these pictures I used no flash just the natural lighting from the lamp and sun through the windows. I like the way that the photos are "warm" giving everything thing a golden glow. Only downside to taking pictures this way is that there is a chance of blur when there isn't enough light. I culled through a lot of these and posted the best of the bunch, there may still be a few that look blurry but it should only be his hands from movement. His face should be in pretty good focus.
Enough talking already.... SHOW US THE GOODS!
I think I took around 300-ish pictures in this series, I used the "motor wind" function of my camera which is essentially holding the shutter button and letting them rip at 2.5 fps (frames per second). Then I went through the lot on my camera and deleted any that were excessively blurry, and pumped them into the computer to comb through on the bigger screen. I believe I ditched a few more from there ending up with about 98 pics to share! Enjoy the pics, "Peanut" says nap time, FLIP!

I always prefer natural lighting over flash if I can ever help it. I don't like the unnatural shadows that flash can produce, even if it *is* a lot harder to control natural lighting due to camera shake. But that is, of course, why they invented tripods ;)
yeah me too bro. You can still get some shadows from not enough light but I've read a lot of ways to help control that with like, white cardboard on the opposite side of the person from the light source. Plus you can use silver or gold low reflective material to give different tones for the picture. Neat stuff. 'Course one of the two things I'd love to get next for my camera is a flash that I can control the intensity and bounce it off the ceiling with movable head, other thing I'd like to have is a remote :)
Those pictures are so sweet. It almost looks like you're watching a slow motion movie. I liked the lighting too. And I especially liked the ones of him sitting up on the bed. Since you're working Wed. I don't guess I'll get to see him this week. Unless I try for Thurs. Don't know yet, though. Love ya!
