My Girls

How cute are these guys?

Took some more pics tonight of "the guys." My friend and coteacher Elaine and her friend Kelly brought over the five sons, and it was a blast! They are all so precious. These are unedited, but I thought the moms would want to see a few of them.

Here's Chris!

Another student I shot pictures for. This guy is a natural behind the camera!

Here's Annie!

I shot her senior photos today. Isn't she gorgeous?

The question du jour

OK, so I set my camera (Canon DRebel, old) to use the center as the focus spot. So why, oh why, did it choose her hat to focus on? DRIVES ME NUTS, and happens way too often. Her face is soft, but the weave on her hat is crystal clear. Not what I was going for. Here are the pic specs, in case it's another setting throwing the AF off. It was my 50mm lens, 1/500 s at f/5, ISO of 800 (in shade). TIA!

Another shoot

with Alison, one of the ladies in the photography group. We got kicked out of the sunflower field by a wicked woman, so we headed to the nature center. Meanwhile, we lost some good light. But we experimented shooting with tripods and messing with aperture. Here are my faves from the evening.
