My daughter found a butterfly outside. Also, my first time shooting with a 7d. Thoughts?

Looks like you got a nice copy of that camera -- cute shots of a very cute girl.

I adore the first one. Great shots!


A Camera, some lenses, a flash, and a whole lot of imagination.

Welcome to the forum. The first shot is great the eyes really make the photo. The second I don't like so much for the same reason I like the first one; instead of seeing the eyes they are lost in shadow. The butterfly is also too centered in the second photo.

Thanks!! She was wearing snow man pajama bottoms, so I was somewhat limited on angles and what not. I agree with you, afviper, I'm not a fan of centered subjects. But I felt that her being kind of at an angle in the background sort of detracted from that.

Wow that first pic is Awesome. Everything is great about it from the butterfly actually staying there, to the big excited eyes of your beautiful daughter. I would try to sharpen her eye a tad more. Great capture.

f/4, 1/100 sec, ISO- 100, focal length 24MM, metering mode- pattern

I also did some sloppy editing in Photoshop. Sharpened her eyes and the butterfly, fixed her skin tone, contrast and such.
