project february: day seven
Day seven: Wrestling with daddy. Manual camera settings and the why behind them: ISO – 5000 (dark, inside, no flash, nighttime) aperture – F 3.2 (wanted to make sure they were both in pretty sharp focus since they might be on different planes/depth of field) shutter speed – 1/125 (as slow as I felt comfortable with…

Day six: Awana. They were supposed to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grow up. My boy wants to be an author. So we had to find him some glasses. I’d say it’s kind of awesome. I couldn’t resist snapping a shot. :) Manual camera settings and the why behind them:…
