Since the sun was missing, I started thinking about fall and what I’m going to do for light. So, I tried iso 1600…I don’t think it was that bad. Better than I thought it would be anyway….

Wanted to capture some of my baby in his summer clothes…and use some of this great lighting before my house becomes a cave.

Just a few more for practice….

The baby got a kick out of throwing the ball to me…everytime it rolled off the couch to me, he would erupt into the biggest belly laughs…it was sooo precious. These were all taken at f/4 for practice.

Still practicing wide apet. @2.2…will practice at f/4 tomorrow to see if I can get some sharper pics. But, I still love these…in case your wondering about the skin tones color, I was just playing around…trying to get a kind of vintage.

Trying out my new lens…Matthew was such a good sport to let his mama practice on him. Really trying to get that exposure thing down. Just started reading Understanding Exposure. I just wish I had better light in my house. Just told my dear husband that we had to buy a new house just so I could get better lighting to support this new addiction of mine. JK. Anyway, off to practice some more….

Here are some of my favs. of my ds who is growing faster than I can photograph…Hopefully, when I look back on these I will have captured some special moments of him growing up.

And here is one w/my oldest and middle w/our lab Cody.

First time posting on my blog…want to document my growth as a photographer…so I am going to post the pics I took with my p&s and then with my new Rebel XT. Still waiting for my new lens (the 50mm 1.8)
