a family shot

Friday, June 25, 2010

A lovely family shot just enjoying each other. Here are my settings..

Manual settings:
ISO – 640 (in full shade, but was a little dark because there was a cover over the top of us)
aperture – 4.0 (an easy starting point for getting a family in focus is that you start with one f stop per person, f4 for 4 people, not always necessary, but good starting point if you’re learning)
shutter speed – 1/160 second (again often the lowest/slowest I go when I’m shooting with active moving kids)
lens – 50mm 1.2L
