DSLR Shots and Discussions

Huck

For those of you that don't have me on facebook, I did a couple shoots with some kids the last couple weeks. It's more difficult than older people, that's for sure. Baby Jaden doesn't smile much, so that was a challenge. And Rhyia was hyperactive so she wouldn't be still or listen at all lol. I'd be like look at me! and she would take off running the other direction, mom would have to go chase her down and drag her back lol. All in all I think it turned out well. I'd like to hear what I could do differently/better as far as composition and editing goes if you have any input...








I know this one I should have gotten her head all the way, but this was the only one I was able to snap like this and I liked it, so I just went with it.

I like all of the compositions and the subject matter, but if I were to "nitpick" I can only see two very small issues:

• Picture 1) There must be a blade of grass or something else clouding your son's left eye (your right). It makes that eye look duller than the other. This may be easy enough to Photoshop out. Other than that, I love the coy smile on his face.

• Picture 4) I am not a fan of the tree in the background right between your wife and son. Although it is far enough away and out-of-focus, to me, it distracts you from the two subject's beautiful faces.

Sometimes you have to take a picture at the "spur of the moment" to capture the scene, so there may be nothing that could have been done beforehand. Still, I love any type of photography and keep up the excellent work.

I agree with everything you said. First though, these were shoots that I did for clients, not my family. I don't have kids thank God haha

Anyway, you're right, there was a plant stem right between us and I didn't notice it until I got back home to edit, the sun was too bright for me to see it in the camera screen. I'm not sure how to edit it out, so I convinced myself I liked it because it adds perspective *cough cough bullshít*

The tree between the mom and daughter gave me pause, I wasn't sure if I should remove it or if it was distracting or not. I'll take it out.

Thanks for the input buddy!
