Autumn Shoot

A week or so ago I dragged one of my strobes out into the garden to take some pictures of the boys with the Autumn leaves. It was quite a sight - I had to piggyback three extension cords to get the light where I wanted it.

A week later I have a set of Quadras for my birthday. Yay!

well done

nice DOF

I agree

Great shot....DoF, exposure, colours.

Beautiful colors and handsome young men

Nicely done, Athena!

Great job getting light into the eyes to show their color! I would have prefer less busy clothing, all that text is visually distracting, but still....really great shots.

what handsome boys!!!

great shot!

Great capture! LOL.....I can see trouble in the younger boys eye's..... I'm sure they will bring many new thrills to your life!

very goodlooking boys indeed!

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

suecassidy - I SO agree about the shirts. I used to be more strict about it, but honestly have nearly given up lately on the clothing battleground.

blondine - you are SO correct about the little guy. He's major fun though.

that's what I call 'double-trouble!' Have 2 of them myself ... quite a bit older, (HS senior and college jr) though!

Great shot. WB and focus nailed. Not sure if the shot was cropped at all, but I'm left looking for a bit more of the BG color.

Print it large! Very nice capture Athena.

Hatch

Gorgeous photo!!

Thanks guys!

This shot was only cropped to the 8x10 ratio. It was shot pretty tight.

Here is a wider version. With less focal length there is a lot more dof. I wish I'd thought to change the aperture when I changed the focal length. It was a race with the sunset though and all I could think was "get the shots quickly!". lol

Athena, if that is the case, you are smart to just let them wear what they feel good in! I didn't know if you had given that any thought or not, so I mentioned it. If that is what it takes to get such great smiles and cooperation...the end justifies the means. ; ) Love it!
