My little girl, with her scruffy , yet beautiful hair.

This is the fifth in a series of shots that I couldn't wait to add to

my portfolio.

Please let me know what you think.

 

kind regards,

Paul

Beautiful !

I have a daughter myself, it's hard to catch the moment, I think you succeeded.

Congratulations

Great picture. I have a 2 year old son and I know how difficult it can be to catch them just the way you want.

Exceptional expression and portrait. Lovely composition and execution. Great.

If you want, have a look...

Congratulations, a beautiful image captured.

How old is she? This is fabulous. She's a natural in front of the camera. How lucky you are to have her to photograph and learn from. Great lighting, expression, composition. How did she get in this position? Love it!

Excelente retrato,,, magnifico encuadre, perfecta luz y color, con un magnifico encuadre, saludos cordiales Paul.

Beautiful garden flower. Congratulations!

Thanks for all of your comments. Lucky? I should say so.

She affords me such luxury in terms of photographic opportunity, not to mention the obvious joy of being her Dad, that it takes my breath away.

I'm glad you all seem to like the shot.

 

Here is how she came to being in the position (see the thumbnails, well half of them)- purely of her own design - wish I could take the credit :0)

kind regards,

Paul

Incidentally, she will be 5 in August.

A blind fool with ten thumbs and a disc camera could take a decent shot of Madison - She's what's known as a 95 percent-er. With a model such as her, you are 95 percent on your way towards a great photograph.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful capture!

Paul - Thanks for sharing the thumbnails. Looks like a lot of fabulous captures in there to play with. Do you set your camera and just set it on "continuous" and just shoot away? I've only used our continuous when I'm taking sports shots of kids. W/my Nikon D1, when I set it on "continuous" I lose the LCD view. It bothers me not to be able to see what my camera's doing! But then I miss out on some "kodak moments" when shoot on single shot!!! How does one get over that?

Here are the details of the shot and yes, I use AF-C. I tend to have the aperture wide open. This means that not all the shots I take are perfectly in focus and perhaps I should consider using f5 to f8 more... I take three shots at a time usually. This has the (sometimes wasteful) effect of "spreading my bets". I usually get one that's in focus - something with kids that seems rare, this tends to help.
I also shoot with a sync speed of 1/500th of a second (see Ken Rockwell pages). This mostly ensures a sharp shot with kids. Though I don't always like using flash as it can be to the detriment of the skin tones. No flash on this shot.
