Nikon D90, 50mm 1.8 - shot in RAW
Aperture Priority, No Flash, ISO 200, SS 1/800, f/5, spot metering using exposure lock
This was not the technical shot of the day, but I wanted to remember the experience of this day where I shot about 300 photos of 3 little people while dragging my two girls along as well. I squatted down once and all of a sudden my knees turned into chairs for my girls, doesn't make it easy to take pictures - ha ha. In the end I got 30 good ones of the 3 kiddos I was trying to take pictures of and not nearly enough choices for photos of my own kids.
We made the hour+ trip to Brenham under cloud cover and I was so excited thinking what wonderful luck to have the giant softbox in the sky working for me, but just as we pulled in the sun came out from the behind the clouds and it got hot & muggy. Not optimum photography conditions (for me anyway) at 4 pm in the afternoon with no shade in sight. But we made do and got some adorable shots that you can see on my creative blog.
post-processing
 | I did some creative masking and cloning to eliminate the lamposts and hotel in the background...doesn't it seem like they're in the middle of country? Then I did some hue/saturation layers to make the foliage greener and darker. A slight saturation bump for the blues & yellows and it's a new photo. |
