Ben was dressed really cute today so I talked Daphne into going with me to the Botanical Gardens so that I could practice my camera work. After today...I realize I need a lot of work! I will say that we didn't go at the right time. The light was uneven and the clouds came and went making it difficult to shoot in manual! And....if you have never shot in manual, I will tell you that is difficult to shoot non-caucasian skin....especially when dressed in white. Below are the "best" (if you can call them that) few of the day. I think we are going to go again around 6:00 on Tuesday in a non-white outfit to try again. I want to get good at taking pictures, and practice makes perfect, right?
Do any of you photographers out there have tips to improve my pictures? I did find today that increasing the ISO helped his skin color look more true than anything else I did. I'm open for any ideas!

It think these pics turned out great! There are a lot of spots in Botanical that are more evenly shaded. That can help!! I wish I could meet you on Tuesday. We have ballet!
Oops! It helps if you pay attention to your typing!
I don't think it's possible for that boy to take a bad picture...he is just so darn cute! :-) I LOVE the picture of his little feet! I'm trying to figure out these same issues with Luca, and to top it off Brenin is usually with her in the picture and is VERY fair skinned, so quite a balance! You said it...practice makes perfect!
I love the pictures! They are way better than the ones I take!! Keep at it, friend!!!
I like those pictures Buffy! They look great! By the way, wear can I get some shoes like Ben's! I love those...so cute! :)
I love them. :)
