Fall Photos of the kids
Nov. 21st, 2008 12:03 amYesterday afternoon the leaves fell from our tree, the weather was warm, and the kids and I had 2 hours to kill while Jon had students inside. We raked up the leaves and then I got out my camera in an attempt to capture the perfect fall photo.
I did not succeed. Between Amber wanting to go behind the neighbor's car (which did eventually back out during this experiment), the fading light, and the fact that my kids do not stand still, I failed to capture the perfect photo.
We still had a very nice afternoon.
I'm posting these to my public filter instead of my "stories about the kids" filter because some of my friends are photo buffs and might be able to give me pointers on the photography aspects. (The photos of the kids themselves are still friends-locked.)
I started out using a flash and my default ISO 400 setting. Here's Amber and Peter playing with Peter's school bus:
( Photos and discussion of camera settings behind the cut. )
( I had to show the one good photo on my main post. )
I'd love to take another photo class, but I think it will have to wait until after the kids are grown for me to have the time. (At which point, it will of course be too late to take great baby photos, ah well, that isn't something I thought of when I was spending my free time after paid-work and before children.)
