Category Archives: my manual settingsSweet little miss inside near a window. Serious precious-ness… Manual settings for the image below: Manual settings for the image below: I love this picture of my little guy. Captures his silly personality in one of his mellower moods. My perspective is that my camera is almost resting on the table, so I’m looking straight into my little guy’s eyes, but coming in a bit from below him. Love how the table in front of him is out of focus. Fun, huh? :) That’s a result of my 2.2 aperture. manual settings for the shot below:
Then I change my perspective and look down on my other little guy from above. I wanted to tell the whole story of how this little guy plays. He loves bananagrams. :) manual settings for the shot below:
I took my two little guys exploring this weekend and I took my camera along. But I took a different lens than I normally would. Usually I’d take my 50mm or my 85mm. But this time I took only my 100mm macro lens. (note: my macro lens is my lens that is usually only used for the baby toes, eyelashes, fingers, and the occasional wedding ring.) I wanted to challenge myself to try something new. So, while they were playing with their sticks and rocks and each other I snapped a few here and there. Here are my settings and a few comments/tips: Settings for image below:
Settings for image below: I do love how the macro lens narrows your focus to your subject and that alone. :) But look at the out of focus image below. One of the tricky things about using a macro lens on wiggly little people. It’s easy to miss focus and ruin the whole image.
Settings for image below (more distance between me and my subjects):
Settings for image below: Again when I’m somewhat close to my subject all else completely falls out of focus. It’s all about him. Love that. Settings for image below:

Super fun playing around with my macro lens in a new way. I just may have to take it on some shoots with children soon. :) I love love. I love capturing love in my images. I love looking at pictures that portray emotion, connection and love. This picture below makes me smile. It allows me to feel the love. So I wanted to share it and I thought I would share my manual settings and any details that might help just a tad to acheive a love-y image. This was shot in the late afternoon and I’m proud of this image because this one has four little wiggly boys in it. The sun is behind my subjects and just a bit in my camera. I am shooting so that the sun is not coming directly or intensely into my camera, but rather just a bit in the corner. ISO – 500
As I enter into a season of more lovely family time I thought I would share with you some of my outdoor late afternoon family shot settings. These were shot in the late afternoon (but during late fall…where sun sets early) around 3pm or so. Manual settings for the picture below:
