Day twelve: Bath bubbles and freckles. (I love his freckles.)

Manual camera settings and the why behind them:
ISO – 2000 (in the bathroom, nighttime, windows closed, lights on)
aperture – F 2.8 (opened up pretty wide as I needed light)
shutter speed – 1/125 (as slow as I felt comfortable with handheld)
distance from subject (rough estimate) – close, only a couple feet from his face
focal point – his eyeball that was a tad closer to me
lens – 100mm 2.8L macro lens
editing – then converted to black and white in lightroom
camera body – canon’s 5D mark IIproject february: day twelve

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:
ISO 100, aperture F 4, shutter 1/160

summer, summer, summertime

Summertime shots by the pool in the bright sun can be tricky. The water is reflective and makes everything a bit brighter. So, watch that shutter speed. Here’s a shot by the pool in the afternoon in full sun and my manual settings to go with it.

ISO – 125 (low is best in bright sun)
aperture – F 2.8 (my preference for a single child shot)
shutter speed – 1/1250 second (it’s bright out so you need the shutter speed to be fast for proper exposure
lens – 50mm 1.2
