Random Photography

[Granny]

I don't really know anything about photography.

Jeremiah is always taking pictures with my iphone.
A lot of them have fingers included but some of them come out very interesting.
I had several saved and the phone lost them...GRR

This is a watered down one I posted on FB.



He never takes a picture of the whole subject but picks out focal pionts instead.

Here he is busy at work

There are some of the best photographers from the forum posting in this thread. For those of you who have done portraits, do you have any suggestions on how to get proper lighting for "Family Christmas Photos"?

My brother and sister-in-law were talking about having me take photos for Christmas of them and there kids. I actually did a Christmas portrait of them on two occasions and people loved them. They thought they were done professionally, but I saw plenty of problems and was not satisfied. My biggest issue (other than dealing with my nephew who can't sit still for more than 2 seconds) was poor lighting. I tried a few different things in the room but nothing seemed to help.

What kind of settings would you recommend I set the camera too? Stuff like white balance, ISO, etc.

If the kids would sit still longer I could take several photos in several settings, then pick the best, but that option is slightly limited so I would like to try to get the settings, well. set, and start shooting as soon as people are in position.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I think they were talking about doing the photos next week. If they come out good enough I will post them up here.

Great thread, Brian. I love these pics you guys are putting up. Brian, do you have an external or remote flash? Portraits are so tricky! That's why I stick to cars LOL

Macky, haven't seen your stuff in a while ... glad to see it here!!!

Meanwhile, my camera has been gathering dust. Here's an old favorite of mine from Philly:
