Model Shoot

A photo from my first model shoot. So much fun!!!! So different taking photos of someone when you're not having to coerce  them to pose and/or take direction and they'll just keep posing away happily.

I usually get about 3 photos when shooting my kids before they've had enough.

1/125 sec,  F 5.6,  ISO 200, and using studio lights. 17-85mm zoom lens at 85mm.

What's up Doc?

This guy is only 6 months old. Taken this week-end when my photo club visited Pacific Northwest Rapture Center in Duncan B.C.

I highly recommend visiting the center and taking in their demonstration shows. So interesting, entertaining, and breathtaking birds.

This was taken with a 70-200mm zoom lens at 200mm. 1/160 sec ISO 200 F 4.0. I usually always shoot on aperture priority. I certainly would have gotten more keepers if I had bumped the ISO up a bit so I was shooting at at at least 1/640 or higher....all my motion shots are blurry.
