Smile For The Camera

Another photo of our granddaughter Willow, one for my portrait series. This is Willow in her car seat. If I chit chat to her I seem to be able to get a nice smile from her.

I shot this wide open at f2.8 / 75mm. I have the eyes pin sharp (spot focus on the nearest eye). Being a baby photo it doesn't need to be pin sharp from front to back, the softness in the right places creates a wonderful glow and mood to the shot.

BTW: There is a nice little video of me and Willow singing "Three Little Birds" on my Instagram account

Thanks for asking, waiting to hear if Teenager can continue his course. It's impossible to do online, so maybe.....
