It's old, worn, the color is not too bad. What do you think?
I kind of want to sand it down, re-paint it a brighter turquoise color then sand it down to give it the old, worn, look again. But right now it is sufficient as is. I might be on the look out to find more chairs of this nature.
I set the chair up toward the back of our yard next to some purple flowers, put Z on it, who by-the-way was already in this pretty dress and shot away. Most of the pics were taken with a f/1.8 or f/2 setting. I forget what my ISO was, most likely 100 or 200. We were in complete shade, although I noticed on a few photos we had some sunlight come in. The fun was to the subject's right side and it was around 5 pm. I tried to get my auto focus to be on their eyes because I heard that this helps with getting the color of their eyes out. I don't know if that is right but I do think it helped.
Look at those bright blue eyes!
I really love how the lens can blur out the background! A lot better then my kit lens can.
BTW... my son is shirtless. It was a hot, muggy day today so he was running around in his underwear all day.
So much cuteness wrapped up in a small package!
I changed some to black and white because they were a little overexposed. Just a little side note I do not have photoshop or any other editing program other than Picasa 3. Although I want to take pictures in RAW I don't yet and won't until I have a decent editing program. I did the "I feel lucky" action on a few of these. Cropped some and then changed the overexposed ones to black and white.
She is even cute in black and white
A few more of my favorites.
Look at her eyes!
I'm sure this is a crop. Look at that cute pout face!
