3 month birthday

[Terri French]

I am very inexperienced at this type of photography. My little grandson is here today. It is his three month b-day and we wanted a picture of him. I have the D70 and no special lighting equipment or flashes. We just sat him outside on the lawn swing in the shade. I would love comments or suggestions. I used the 50mm 1.8 lens at f6.3 1/200 ISO 400.

He will still be here tomorrow so I can take more if you have suggestions on how I can improve using the equipment I have.

The two are beautiful, but the first one has more saturated colors.

Which do you like the best--the saturated or unsaturated one?

 

[Gilles]

I do prefer the first one.

Thank you for taking the time to look back here. I couldn't decide which saturation level I liked the best. I am happy to get another opinion.

I know--the proud grandma in me is going to drive everyone crazy!!!!

He's pretty special--my daughter and her husband went through a lot of problems and miscarriages before they had a successful pregnancy. It makes us appreciate him all the more.

You guys are probably going to get sick of me posting pictures of him.

His mother. He is at the stage where he is learning that if he smiles or laughs he gets a lot of attention. He smiles a lot.
