Took a walk with my son and voila!

I have been more of a silent watcher over the years and Im pretty sure this is my first photo post! any tips for posting here and/or on my photo are welcome!

So so cute! Love the sun!

Could do with a reflector, or fill flash. He is a cutie though!

I'm not a pro, but I like it as is. The slight shadows tell much about the time of day. It's real, nothing artificial about it.

If i was plannin on doing an actual mini session with my son i would have taken all my gear, instead just used what i had with me at the time, a friends Tamron I was testing out.

Nice expression. I'd have tried to find somewhere that the sun wasn't quite as harsh on the background.

You have a wonderful future ahead - keep clicking !!

Thank you! I plan on submitting more to these forums, the last couple times i have gotten a lot of great feedback. It will be nice to be a more active member and less of a silent bystander!

I started with the same lens as you - they have served me well for mostly action shots. Added the 200/2.8 for longer shots, and 55-250 for daytime walk-around. I eventually found that my copy of the 50 didn't AF fast enough, so switched to the (cheap) new 40/2.8 STM.

Remember to be free with your clicking - it's simple to delete shots that don't "fit", but sometimes an extra click will catch that special expression. I once took some pics of my adult daughters, and caught one sticking her tongue out at me! It was really cute. The same goes for action - the expressions and positions change quickly, and multiple shot help catch the "best" pic. I once caught my dog's tongue licking the nose of my grandson. Years of fun!!!
