mugundhan_varadanarayanan Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 A friend (Uma), his wife (Rama) along with their 18 month old son Vrishank (my son Ananth is also same age) stopped by our place last Sunday. Some candids... Most indoors taken @ ISO 400/ 800 at around F4. Outdoors I stopped down to F5.6 with ISO 100. First Pic Vrishank (left) and Ananth face-off :) F4, ISO400, built-in flash <P><IMG SRC=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/2881744252_7ec95bdd79_b.jpg>; ISO400, F4, bulit-in flash <P><IMG SRC=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3290/2881746982_9e63f67517_b.jpg>; ISO400, F4, No flash <P><IMG SRC=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2881748422_cfe49cfcab_b.jpg>; ISO800, F4 No flash Uma, Rama and Vrishank <P><IMG SRC=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2880928941_7071e78c4c_b.jpg>; ISO100, F5.6, no flash, Uma and my wife Ramya <P><IMG SRC=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3260/2880938351_bc563ef84f_b.jpg>; More pix @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugundhan_varadanarayanan Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Javier, Thanks! Any suggestions? Do you think these pictures are representative of the tamron lens? I am just curious to know whether I have a good copy of the lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaloot Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I like your use of the tilt horizon... a nice change from the usual kiddie snaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I sort of like the last one, including that the sky wasn't blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugundhan_varadanarayanan Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks guys! I like ISO800 on K10D, need to try ISO1600 on indoors...If exposure is right, I guess noise should be minimum. Its lots of fun exploring the equipment's potential Now I know why people prefer flashless available light photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Mugundhan, I think they are pretty good. Perhaps a +3 or +5 EV and you would have been dead on...But really they look good. I would say you have a good copy of the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 That second and third image is priceless...What a beautiful family you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'll vote the first & third--the kids' expressions are just wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugundhan_varadanarayanan Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks everybody for the comments, I guess I will now adopt the tilt framing until everybody else gets sick of it LOL I can try .3EV compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Wonderful candids. The lens looks to be a good copy. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserere_mei Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I think Javier got a bit carried away with +3-5EV compensation. I'm sure he meant *clicks*, not stops, which would translate to +1-1.7EV. Great kiddie pics; like Dave says, it's all in capturing their expressions. As for your copy being a good one or not, you would have to test it on a tripod at f/2.8. However, if in normal use you don't find that your photos are out of focus (although a small number always are, for everyone), then you're probably fine.

hagar Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Great photos of the kids Mugundhan! I also like that last shot a lot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Mis, thanks for the correction. I really need to engrave that into my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_katen Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I like the fourth one best. It has a nice composition and the personalities of the subjects really come across. I can't tell much about the lens from these pictures, but it seems a tad soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Love the 2 boys in the first one. Reminds me of a pic of my cousin & I sitting in a (big and UGLY) chair together as babies (I'm 4 mo older) and both of us screaming our heads off.
