Let's see those Grandchildren!

Grandkids were just over for a weekend stay. Soon were sick of me chasing them around with the camera, of course.

sunnygirl, this is too precious, what a sweet picture. thanks for sharing their smiles just warm my heart..... feeling the love with this one.

What she said^.

Finally my 30D and Tamron 17-35 arrived. And finally I had time to read the manual and take some shots. First shots of course were of the nearest grandbaby.

Number two looks like a 60 Minutes special report: Children Behind Bars. Cute. Congrats on the camera! You had a Rebel series before?

This was taken mid June of '06 just after Ellie began to crawl. She had been immobile since birth late March of '05. Quite happy to be moving.

Here's a whole bunch of them!

She does look happy. She's so grown up now!

Yes, I had a Rebel XT for almost three years. Felt that I outgrew it. I really like this Tamron lens, far superior to the canon 18-55 I had.

Here's our newest...............h​aving sweeeet dreams!!

Wow, great capture, way too cute.......

Thank you Sunnygirl for the nice comment -- Here's one more taken with my newest lens addition (17-55IS 2.8), This one is taken outside Sorry for the background being "blown-out" but her expressiion of "grampa-- are we done with this photo nonsense yet??!! " I just had to rescue this expression. The "looks" you get from newborns are so fascinating-- makes you wonder what is going thru those new little minds??

Hi all been practicing in the manual mode I took these two shots of my grand daughter after she and I played the game cootie. Ha! her first time playing and of course she won, so here she is with her bug...

I don't know why but the iso was bumped up to 1000, now I know I had to have done that, but doesn't that sound a little high. Maybe I should leave the WB in auto for a while.... It's so hard because now I have to look at crappy pictures while trying to learn... so sad... hmmmh

What camera are you using? If, for instance, it's the 40D, did you have the ISO set to auto? If so, it will select the ISO that it thinks is correct for the circumstances. I'm not sure what the WB has to do with it!

Hi Roy, yes I am using the 40D. I kinda remember setting everything myself and getting all twittered when it wasn't turning out, so I may have bumped the iso up. I think I will leave the ISO and WB on auto (would that still be considered manual though...hmmh...oh well) and practice on maybe some flowers and the such. LOL maybe then I won't get so anxious.

Cindy - as I said, you'll find that, with the ISO set on auto, the camera will select the ISO that it thinks will still give you a reasonable shutter speed. This means that, in low light, it will increase the ISO to suit. So it may be that you didn't alter the ISO setting - the camera did it.
