Photo A Day ~ 2 Jan

Photo A Day ~ Day 2!
My youngest son was on the back porch with my mom and I couldn't resist the opportunity for some great photos! I just love this one of him peeking through the slats on the porch fence railing. Peek-a-boo turned into quite a game! :) It was also a great time to play with the settings on my camera! I kept adjusting all the manual settings & shooting! The manual stuff is starting to make sense to me!

And again, I couldn't just choose one! This shot was taken right after the one above. Same settings. But, on this one, I tried my hand at a little Photoshop work! To the right of his head, right above the fence, was a dark spot from something on my back porch. It was really distracting, poking up from behind the fence, so I "cloned" it out. :)

Stephenie, I was playing with all the settings... and by the time I figured out what I was doing, and wanted to focus on him, he was SO done with our game! Gotta love 4-year-old attention span! ;)

Maybe he'll cooperate tomorrow!

sounds like Jamie is in a bit of denial. :)

He's so cute! You're doing a great job figuring out your camera. Keep working so that you are an expert by the time I get mine!

These are really good. Manual is so rewarding, just takes practice.

I like this challenge idea, may so it myself.

LUV the one of him peeking through the fence, what an amazing shot, love the dof and sharpness, you nailed it! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

I really like the second shot. He is looking right at the camera. However, I wish I could see his eyes better.
