Selected Favourites
These are completely unedited and are not cropped (the finals will be). They are only re-sized to facilitate uploading to this page. I appreciated having the opportunity to to have a 'trial by fire' lesson on shooting portraits with my new camera, I think I learned a lot (I've shot portraits before, but this new camera is completely different than my previous one). Some are, unfortunately, out of focus. My camera has a focus tracking mode (something new to me, for continuous shots while we were moving) that was, unfortunately not enabled. Also, the aperture-priority mode kept ignoring the fact that the flash was enabled, so I was shooting in full manual & not responding to lighting differences as the clouds changing the amount of light coming in the window. I realized afterwards that the reason for this is likely due to the camera having a mode dedicated to wide open aperture + flash. Gah, a little too late for these :) I also decided that since I am cropping anyway, next time I would not bother to shoot any in the portrait orientation, I think the flash is more flattering in landscape.
So, I think we shot enough that you'll get what you need (I think there's a couple that are really cute), but after reviewing them, be honest. If you want to re-shoot for a headshot, I will not be offended.
Feel free to share this link with anyone you like. If you prefer, I'll replace these with the edited ones you select (and I can give you a shorter URL) if you want to be able to share them online with friends/family. Just let me know.
