a more than willing model! by jackies365

a more than willing model!

since I have sort of become official church photographer (no one else really wants the job) I took photos of new members. this little guy was a very willing model asking for more each time I stopped!
very intense looking little guy

Well isn't the a cutie! I have no concept of a willing toddler. lol! I hope they are all like that. Congrats on the photography gig. What a great way to get some practice.

Did you do a whole directory? That's ambitious!

See this is what I keep talking about on my pictures Jackie! This is so lovely and sharp and what I keep failing to manage! How do you do it?! Have you used flash? Such a cute shot - although if i were to be overly critical - I think I can see a little red eye! :)

@missalice you are right I missed that! I did use a flash at about 1/32 power and it was on camera. this was for a little fill when I shot the families. I was also shooting from my tripod which was set for family groups so somewhat high for this guy. I went in and corrected it on my copy thanks! you know what to look for! I am not sure why but back-button focusing has helped me a lot with focus. this was in crummy church light too. lots of windows but a ways away, high ceilings with pendant lights not optimal for pics and between services with people walking through.

@kali66 loved the camera and wanted more...kids are more used to pictures now I think with all the camera phones!

@samzee it was great...you know how a photographer loves a willing subject! If only I had a real set up it would have been magic!

@melston no, just about 8 families of new members. we do our directories every few years and hire a company...not ready for that!
