Friday Photo Fun

This week I’ve been practicing on the kids a lot.  They have been really frustrating to take photos of lately, so I tried using the tips from Click it up a notch.  For this picture I used the 70-300mm and kept my distance; let Kainoa just play around while I snapped away.  Please critique, thanks in advance!  ISO 640, f/5.0, focal length 165mm, SS 1/400.  Flash not fired.  Manual, spot metered.  I purposely cut of his head (I personally like the look) but want to know if it just looks like bad composition.  Also, is it too bright?  I can’t tell on my monitor sometimes.  What I learned: I really like using the longer focal length for portrait shots, and it’s a lot easier if I just go with the flow and not worry too much about trying to get them to pose.





I shared my picture on click it up a notch! You should too!
