Taken with Canon digital rebel xt, using tamron zoom lens on manual. Can't remember if I used flash. She was trying to put on her older brother's pants. :)

iso 1600, 46 mm, 1/60 sec f5.6, no flash.
its a very cute child.
technically, the image is under exposed by a 1.5 stops. also you could have used fill flash to lift up some of the shadows.

Color Temp seems much too warm. Was the WB setting recorded anywhere? My guess is that it was set for daylight.

With an ISO of 1600, I'm guessing the lens isn't very fast. You did not use flash. I agree with Robert that the white balance wasn't set for Tungsten/Indoors like it should have been. My (not an expert) opinion: Take the white balance setting off Manual unless you've calibrated it for the conditions, and set it to the indoors preset (Tungsten/Incandescent) and shoot in RAW. If you did shoot the photo in RAW, you should be able to adjust the white balance in your photo editing program. I noticed the aperture was at f/5.6. If possible, open it up more next time. It must have been quite dim in that room! Good job focusing manually!

I tried to lighten this up and bring some of the detail out but the picture is so low res for the web there wasn't much detail to work with. She is a cuties for sure...:D:D

Thanks for all the insight. A lot of it is still gibberish to me (sorry to say!). I am determined to improve my photography so it's all helpful. :D

I've heard of stops, but can't remember what they are or how to control them. Is that when you put the camera into apeture setting and control how open or shut the lens is? :o About fill flash, the only flash I have so far is the pop-up one on my rebel. I need to save for a new one. I think that if I had used flash on this pic, it would have had those dark black shadows.

Thanks for all input!

You are exactly right in regard to "stops". or f-stops.

Fill flash is not a type of flash unit - it is a specific application of the flash. "Fill flash" is light from a flash unit that is intended to soften the shadows. If applied skillfully, it will not cause the undersirable dark black shadows but will, instead, soften the shadows that are desired to create the modelling of facial contours, thus giving greater illusion of depth.
