I have never really photographed people at all. I always find myself looking at plants, animals, cars and architecture more than anything else, but at the rate everyone in my family is popping out kids, I'm going to need to get acquainted with the human kind sooner rather than later.
I took these two yesterday as my niece was crawling around and taunting my dogs with their favorite ball. In the first, she was crawling, and I was standing, so I held the camera in front of her and hoped for the best without being able to see through the viewfinder. I know the focus could use some improvement, her forehead got chopped off (as I couldn't really see where I was aiming the camera), and the depth of field is just a hair too shallow... I think? I know people like soft baby photos, but I think she could benefit from a bit more detail. I'm not great at retouching in photoshop which is why I didn't bother to try to remedy the red spot on her forehead where she had been sleeping on her face. Anyway, any other tips are welcome!
