A few from spending the day with my older daughter

Annalise is 3 and a ton of fun. We decided to have a Papa and Annalise day.

Went to the park, then the near by pond to see the ducks and geese. From there we had lunch, went to the beach, got ice cream and went to the grocery store before going home and making dinner.

These were all shot on my 7D Mkii with my new Sigma 18-35 1.8. I love this lens, but I am finding that anything beyond .5m weather 18mm, 24mm, 28mm, or 32mm starts to loose it's sharpness >7' out. I have dialed in the micro focus via USB dock for .28m, .35m, .50m but infinity is very hard. I think at 7' it is leaning towards the infinity side more than the .50m side resulting in missed focus.

If anyone has suggestions as to getting infinity micro focus adjusted through the Sigma dock for this lens, I am all ears!!

In the tube:
f/2.8
1/160
ISO 500


At the beach:
F/8
1/320
ISO 100

F/5
1/400
ISO 100

The first image is amazingly good! Great subject setting.

I love the first photo. It looks like the 2 of you had a great fun day.

I really like how "the tube" or first picture frames your daughter. But I am not crazy of the pose. If you can I would go back and have her maybe sit in the tube
looking straight at you. She seems to be bent over because she too tall. I think it would make for a really exceptional photo as this first one is good, but could
be slightly better. Daughter is beautiful, sounds like you had a wonderful day. Here is an excuse to have another.

I enjoy the composition of the first image. I would prefer a bit more contrast..perhaps bring up the shadows on the person..and darken the outer areas. Just a suggestion!

I like the movie star beach shot. That belongs in a frame on the wall.
