My amazing son. Thank you for comments and critiques. Playing with

lighting and exposure. Thanks for looking! :)P

this child looks like to be very happy to work as model for you, very good. I like the shadows effect, lovely done.

I like it!

Phaedra, he looks like a cheeky little bloke! I really like the composition here and the way you have caught your boy grabbing at the drawer handle. The DOF and the focus point both work really well, and the colours are nice and natural. There is quite a lot of noise in the picture though and I wonder what camera ISO setting you were using. I would have thought there would have been plenty of light to use a lower ISO setting and still use a fast enough shutter speed.

I am sorry to say I do not know what the ISO setting was. This was taken on 35mm 800 speed film with my Canon Rebel then scanned onto my computer. I am saving up for Photoshop and hope to maybe be able to clean up some of that noise. I used the automatic portrait setting. I realy know nothing of the tech side of things but am slowly learing thanks to Photo.net and people like you! :)P

Phaedra, it dawned on me just as I logged off last night that this was probably shot on film! I must have been having a stupid moment (tired!) as the "noise" is quite clearly film grain when I look again this morning. I wouldn't try and clean it up - it's look as it should.

 

Rather than saving for photoshop, how about having a look at GIMP2? It's completely free and has just about everything you could possibly want in terms of post-processing photographs.
