Thread: 3 more from today =) CC!

Mommy goggles on...I totally love these!!! But I'm looking for CC. I know there is a lot of stuff wrong with these. I did a quick edit on each of them. Tried to get the colors working but I gotta go to bed. Maybe I can spend more time on editing them later. Didn't get many more than this. I need to really get out of my shell and get more comfortable with taking different pictures.

I used my 30mm lens on all of these. I LOVE this lens!

f/3.2
ISO-100
SS 1/400
(a bit blown in certain spots but I tried to fix as much as I could)


f/5.6
ISO-100
SS 1/250 (changed settings since the previous one was a bit too bright)



f/5
ISO-100
SS 1/1000 It must have been brighter or something on this side. We were out there around 2pm or so.


Next week we are going to the botanical gardens. I really hope there are still some flowers left. Trees are starting to turn colors here! Once they do we will be going somewhere where I can take pics! Hopefully anyway

thank you for any advice!

Yeah there are some blown bits but look at the blue of the water...... I love the water over in Europe its stunning!

# 1 is my fave for comp although I would de-centre her a bit.

I love the first one. yes, you have some blown bits, but I don't think it matters (you're not getting a poster of it, right?) I just think it's such a fun picture, and she's so pretty. focus looks great too. I think the 3rd is brighter because they're facing the sun more, the sun was at your daughter's back in the other two. looks like you caught a sweet moment.

I agree, the blown areas don't bother me because the rest is so great! I love the water and the spot, and of course, your daughter's smile! On the last one, I wish I could see more of your son's face, but it's a very cute shot, still! And gorgeous horizon!

thanks!! i will work on the centering of the first one. I think I did that because there was something distracting on the lower right side. I was just too lazy to clone it out I hope to get out there again later on. I didn't have much of an area to take pictures in though. There was this huge thing in the way but there are other spots elsewhere we can go to. I love the color of the water too!

That is a great spot for pics. Your dd is just beautiful too! The blown spots don't really bother me too much. I think you would have had to be in the water to avoid them! On the second one, I think that I would like to see it pulled back just a little so there was some reference to where she was looking.

thanks ... like maybe the horizon in the distance? i'm going to have to go back again to retake its not too far from here. actually we are going there next weekend again! we are taking the ferry into town.

how's this? ... she is a bit more towards the middle now. It's the only way to keep the horizon in the picture she's still following rule of thirds though.

I'm not bothered by centering. I think what matters is what appeals to YOU, this is your photo, your child. And I like seeing the horizon.

I really would love to go to that spot, just looks so nice!

i love going to spots like these...just listening to the water is very soothing
