hate your pic taken? why do mums hate it most?

[lisa1969]

I find mums hate their pictures taken. I would love to get more pics with mum & baby. Until I can get myself a better camera I just play around with pics. I have done some casual baby pics for friends etc. Most mums never let me take their picture and avoid the camera. After much convincing I was able to get one. The picture quality is poor, (slr here i come) and the crop in the first is not so great but I loved the capture of the second one!

Any cc always appreciated. :eek:

They are really neat, and the quality isn't bad at all. Just what you've already said, the crop is a bit out, but then you won't be able to frame them the same.

I like them. :)

But one question, what is that on the boys stomach in first pic.
Almost looks like a bandage.

[lisa1969]

should have cloned that out! It is a his diaper, I swear plummer's butt starts at conception!

[Wazza]

I actually thought it was diaper material, but didn't want to offend any growing children, that he's wearing them. ;)

[lisa1969]

LOL, yeah he is 2 and seemingly a million years away from being "trained"

this particular mum should seek the camera out, not hide from it. she's v-e-r-y attractive and photogenic.

Nice photos
....again :-)

like the pics alot. Focus seems a bit soft, but works well here.

[lisa1969]

I am still struggling with this sometimes. + it was only my second time using the timer. LMAO! These were a bit grainy to start so they are filtered too, hence the softness!
thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated!

What kind of camera are you using Lisa??

[ayotnoms]

.... it was only my second time using the timer...

OMG, is that you on the other side of the camera?? I didn't put that together from your original post. Then again, I'm so inattentive, I hide my own Easter eggs.

Well, all I got to say is, get the hell over to the Nature & Animals section.

...with the other foxes :lol: :lol:

Dreaming of a 350 or a 20D but currently using a A85. I usually have much better luck with it however without actually seeing what I was shooting and battle a very active 2 yr old, it proved to be a little much for me. I know thats not much of an excuse! But its all I got!

ayotnoms ~ u r making me blush! LOL~ i have 3 kids~ 14 yr old being the oldest~ sum days I feel like I should be in the still life section under fossils~LMFAO~

[lisa1969]

I figured I could show some of my "buds" it isn't so hard getting in front of the camera~ i prefer behind the camera rather than in front~ but this is where they should DO AS I SAY~!not as I do!

[stoneylonesome]

WOW! I really like the composition and the softness works well. You are a beautiful Mum. Would never believe your oldest is 14. :) :) :)

[schmoelzel]

Great shots! Composition and execution are fabulous!! Nice work!!

[MAD DOG]

Nice shots. Would be worth cropping the dead space of the right hand side of the first one to centralise your models in the frame.

I hear that! I share the same dream!
But the A85 is a great camera as well........and you've done a good job proving it! What kind of lighting did you use and how did you get the background so 'white'??
