Cassie - Critique/comments wanted!

Erik_L · 4th of May 2010 (Tue)

I recently did a little impromptu "session" with my friend's daughter, Cassie. She is three years old and full of energy! Please let me know what you liked and didnt like.

Her mother and father liked them a lot, but they'll like any picture that has their kid in it...

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Shot these all in Servo AF mode with a Tamron 17-50. All shots at f/2.8 and ISO 100-400

I think you did well. It can be difficult to keep up with a 3 year old on the run... but you pulled it off nicely.

I'm not sure about the color temp in your processing... I like a more natural look... but I think this is popular right now, and I'm guessing it is intentional?

I agree with Kristy on the colors -

Otherwise great job - kids move FAST

Yes, the color temp thing was intentional. Not sure why, but Cassie's face had a pretty green tint to it in most of the pics. I only shot JPG, so correcting by adding magenta made things a little screwy. Between my LCD not being calibrated, and me not having very good eyes for "what's right", I always tend to error on the side of warm vs cool.

Thanks for the comments.

I like 3, 5, and 8. Also prefer a natural look myself.

1 would be perfect if you caught all of her shoe.
