I just love this picture of my sweet girl! I love how the background blurred, but she was in focus.
Nikon D5000
Shutter : 1/1000 sec
Aperture: f4.2
Focal Length: 105 mm
No Flash
So, how could I have made this even better? I am VERY new to photography and would love any help!!! Specifically, how do I tone down the blue hues? And brighten the pic...should I have used the flash here, or would that have made it too bright???
To see a few other pics from this "session" please see my blog...http://sandpiperfamily.blogspot.com/2009/08/natalies-2-year-picturesa-couple-of.html
Oh no. no flash. See if you can add just a tiny yellow/orange in camera. The setting would be under white balance. If you feel your pictures are a little blue you can add some yellow 'in camera'. It's in your manual and I have just started doing this myself.
ReplyDeleteI think you got great bokeh for being at 4.2.
Lovely picture and composition!
I second the NO flash. Flash almost always ruins the color.
ReplyDeleteNice pic and other than no flash I can't help you more I shoot with a p&s still :( Check out my attempts on my blog! Nice "meeting" you
