Daughter's Christmas Series

gatorchrissy1 · Mar 25, 2008

I figured since I was commenting and posting a lot today, I'd put these out there for C&Cs. In case you missed my intro post, I've been shooting with my Nikon D50 for over two years, so I don't consider myself a newbie, but no expert either. I love taking children's photos and one day I'd like to get paid for it

Thanks for any comments.

All fotos are very good and qualitative.
But It's not good cuts bottom on 1, 2, 4 pictures

I like the colors in these. I agree about the crops, you want to include all of her feet.

She's adorable, btw!

Are you referring to the crops? I'll keep that in mind, I did not crop the bottoms of these photos, these are as is out of the camera, maybe I need to work on the composition.

Thanks!

Thanks! That was one of my favorites too, but I hate the background, wish it were more of a field instead of a wooden fence.

Aww, thanks. I'll keep that in mind next time, I did not crop these on the bottom, her feet were never included. I guess I need to work on my composition.

Hi, I love your pics.. nice job! I agree about backing up just slightly to change the way the bottom of the picture is framed.. that or turn the camera sideways to get a long view for shots 1 or 2 would have been ideal. I actually like the cut of #4, though. I think 1 is the best in terms of color, composition and quality. Great job, she's so cute!

oooh also, one last thing.. I think it would be good if you didn't always center your subject. Sometimes it works and is compositionally OK, but I notice in pictures like #2 and # 3 that a differnet composition completley would make the picture so much more interesting.

Thanks so much for the advice. I work on composition as much as I can, but it's the weakest and most challenging aspect for me. Plus, a fast moving two year old makes it difficult as well - lol. I guess that's why we keep practicing.

Thanks again.
