First attempt at baby pictures

[briancmo]

went better than I expected, but also harder than I thought to get babies to smile and look not miserable!

They look great! Babies are tough subjects- they have to be in the mood and stay in that mood! I really love the one of the 3 of them, great family shot that is very relaxed and happy looking :)

I think you did pretty damn good!

Love the first one. Any more?

[briancmo]

Yeah there's a bunch more. I wish I had a nicer sky :(. I also realized how hard it was to get babies to smile. You really have to entertain the crap out of them!

Also learned that DPP handled the colors WAYYYYY better than lightroom for these pics. Accurate, great depth, etc. I may be switching over to do my exposure and color in DPP THEN bring into LR for the rest.

Great shots! Love the DOF. What lighting did you use?

[briancmo]

Thanks Noelle,

I use the sun as my side/backlight around 6pm and then had an elinchrome on a stand with a 3x4 chimera attached to an elinchrome 'portable' power pack. Bulky, heavy, and pain in the ass, but you get nice light.

Was my first time using all this stuff so was hard to control, but overall I was happy.

Great shots briancmo. I have been preaching the, DPP does a better job at converting files than LR2, and everybody says that I must be doing something wrong or I dont have my calibrations, color profile, etc set up right (which I do!). That said, as always, I do my editing in LR because it's plain awesome. But when it comes to handling RAW files I agree, DPP!

The last one is great... all except the fact that he is flicking you off! lol
