for my 2 blog friends...=)

This image was a pain in the booty to edit. I didn't post it on facebook because I am not thrilled with the outcome but I like it well enough. I need more practice shooting in this type of lighting situation. AND I need a lens hood. =)

Owen oants!

back in the saddle again....

This is one of those classic shots you see pretty much every photographer do now a days. Probably because it's adorable!! Seeing as it is so popular I assumed it was easy to get. Well I assumed wrong. I took like 10 and this was the best I got. With a lower aperture it's a challenge when baby decided to move forward or backward and step out of your focus and/or change your composition.

Also, little Remy wasn't really into standing like this. He would rather crawl around and pick up leaves or have Mom or Dad hold him. So he didn't really feel like posing.

I think next time I attempt it I will see if Mom and Dad can do the 1,2,3 swing thing and then take the photo when baby lands and is laughing. It was good practice!!

Wish I had better focus and brightness in the eyes but I like it and am happy to be learning!!

Top SOOC (straight out of camera) bottom edited. Tried to remove some green from the skin tone and brighten it up. Is it better or worse?
