We went to dinner tonight and when we got home the kids wouldn’t sit still for anything so that I could get some in focus pictures. Not to mention I completely forgot to check all my settings because I was in a hurry and I had my shutter speed at 1/60, which means on top of out of focus, I also go motion blur.
Cooper found the new shampoo and wouldn’t stop putting it in his mouth. He puts everything in his mouth.
I hadn’t meant to focus on his feet, but I ended up liking the way this photo turned out.
I had wanted to get a photo of Charlotte showing me her vibrating Pat (from Handy Manny), but she kept walking toward me and I was already against a wall. This isn’t too bad, but I wish I saw more of her face.
Too cute with vacuuming the floor. Why don’t they make those toy vacuums actually do the real thing? Seems like they would enjoy it and I would actually get something out of it. (This looks like I used direct flash instead of my speedlight. I should have tilted my speedlight to bounce more off the ceiling since I was sitting right against a white wall and had it pointed about 30° behind me.)
This one I loved her expression and I think it’s funny that I got Cooper in the photo pretending to be a dog or a lion (I don’t remember if he was barking at the dog or roaring at Charlotte). However I had the vanity lights on and it put a strange glow on the photo that I couldn’t get rid of in Photoshop. Instead I tried a few different editing actions from Pioneer Woman.
My edit
Colorize. I like the vintage look, with some texture. The only thing I don’t like is how strange and pastey her skin looks. I think it might cool off the photo a little too much for my tastes.
Heartland. I like how this action gives a sense of movement when there is streaming light in the photo. This is becoming one of my favorite actions.
