“but my little ones don’t like pictures”
I hear this quite a bit from moms. “But my little ones don’t like pictures!” And they wonder what they should do and how they can possibly get a picture of them. Hopefully it’s encouraging to you to hear that my little guy doesn’t like me taking his pictures most of the time either. Stink.…

Wanted to show you what it looks like when my lens is pretty wide open (low aperture number)… Manual settings: ISO – 250 (in full shade, but a very sunny day) aperture – 2.2 (focused on subject but wanting the background to fall off) shutter speed – 1/1000 second (just found the shutter speed that…

My Manual settings: ISO – 1000 (it was pretty dark and shady under all the orchard’s trees) aperture – 2.8 (open wide enough to get some fabulous blurry bokeh behind the little boy but still a good fstop where his whole face, hair, and shirt are sharp) shutter speed – 1/250 second (just used that…
