My plan was to photograph some interesting old buildings, barns, railroad tracks, etc. by Richmond where I live...and have either my husband or daughter pose at a key point to be framed or "pointed out" in the picture. Plans have to change sometimes! My daughter came down with a nasty stomach flu while her husband was out of town, and my husband and I rushed to help her and tend her 10-month old baby. Because of that, we were indoors all day, but we got great pictures to commemorate Dawson's 10th month!
I felt like the window sill drew a line to the baby...
(I realized later I should have my F-stop at 2.8 for people.)

I was trying to decide if the water bottle helped the picture or caused a distraction..? It makes a lot of interesting colors and its lines bring you up to the baby's face. One reason I liked it in the picture was to show the size of the baby.
(A little motion blur in this picture...he was fast! Tricky not to get more blur and cut-offs!)

We have a lot of yellow in our lives...which can cause color cast in our pictures...But it always can warm things up...Again I have the use of the lines of the crib and the pattern the slats make...plus COLOR! (Complimentary blue and yellow...) Is there a white balance setting that helps when you have too much color?

It was so much color, we thought the pictures in that room would make great black and white pics....

Simon didn't want to feel left out, and plopped in the middle of the photoshoot! If you wonder where his feet are...they are in the other dozen of pictures I took of the baby...with the baby reaching out and grabbing just a kitty foot (nothing else of the cat in those pictures...)

I love the lighting in the windowsill picture. The color in the yellow pic is really nice too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable grandson! I love the windowsill picture, and of course the one of Simon, as well, as I love animals!! I think the blue and yellow look great together, but do really like the b/w as well. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbra: Sorry your daughter was sick but how lucky you were to spend time with Dawson. I love the pictures you took of him.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson Dawson is a darling! I love the one at the windowsill, the black & white (very simplistic, love the smile in his eyes) and of Simon looking very cool, calm & collect. However the other two I enjoy as well, he stands out in both.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter is feeling better...
