Some days it is so hard to choose just one picture. Today my plan was to get shots of some quirky Japanese clothes I bought the baby. But dang it, he is just so darn beautiful I had to choose this one. Thanks to Kathleen for keeping his attention & thanks to Courtney for those back button focusing tips. I can tell a big difference! PS, my husband has proclaimed he looks like he has a plastic chin. That isn't overboard editing skills, it's drool any mother would (probably) recognize.

I think we need to train that hubby's eye :O) Love E's eyes in this one!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHis eyes are BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteLove the photograph. The catch lights really make those beautiful eyes pop! I'd like to see this one cropped more to E's head.
ReplyDeleteI love his eyes too! How sweet, and I totally knew it was drool! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that the majority of mine *will* be of my kids....just won't be able to help myself.
ReplyDeletehahaha plastic chin (reminds me of one of those clowns/ventriloquists - the comment not the shot) HE is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteHis eyes are so sparkly that you hardly notice the drool on his chin.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures! Your little man was definitely the better choice to photograph. What a cutie. I look forward to following you. Feel free to check out my blog. http://throughaphotographerseyes.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable. You're gonna love bbf! It's the best thing since sliced bread (but not that icky white kind, hehe)
ReplyDeleteHe is sooo adorable! Love those catchlights. I love back button focusing. I can't ever go back.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out this back button focusing - although I'm already SO overwhelmed with all this new information. Up until a month ago, I thought I was a real photographer because I sometimes went without my flash. Haha.
ReplyDeleteYour little boy is just adorable in this picture. And not to sound redundant, but those EYES!!! Plastic chin. Hahaha.
Love this photo, he is too cute! I LOVE BBF!!! Isn't it great!
ReplyDeleteTotally recognize the drool chin! :) I love the background. Of course your babe is precious too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo! He is so adorable, and the soft colors are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll your comments mean so much! Thanks!
ReplyDelete@ Carrie, I have been shooting in manual for abt 7 months & I've just now started doing bbf 100% of the time. It was set up on my camera but when fiddling w all my other settings it was something I always forgot about. I'm just glad I can remember to do it now! ha
@ Jason, yeah I thought abt a tighter crop but I guess I was still trying to get some of his shirt in there. Also I guess bc he's so far in the top of the photo I was kinda going w a rule of thirds kind of thing but I can see how it might look awkward.
ReplyDeleteI love the eyes! This photo is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteTrisha,
ReplyDeleteSometimes rules are meant to be broken. ;-)
I didn't even notice the "plastic chin" until you mentioned it- I was drawn into his beautiful eyes!
