My first outdoor shoot

SnappingShark · Jun 19, 2016

I was shooting in a park with only natural lighting - I think the shots turned out well. I would love some critique / feedback if possible! The idea was to show "caring for children" - not just family shots.

Thanks!

I think on #2 I could have been in a step or 2 closer.

Not too bad! Ideally it would have been nice to see a little fill light on the faces, but I think a little careful work with the local adjustment brush in LR could easily take care of that. The only real point I see is that (esp. in #2) it would have been beneficial to have moved people's heads a little so that they weren't blocked by other heads, balloons, etc.

Much better than I would be able to do. The 1st one looks a tad green (on my non-calibrated monitor).

Shooting with kids can be tough and time consuming, because you can't really pose them.

IMHO, these are about 1/2 stop under exposed. WB is a bit off since the skin tone in the first photo doesn't look natural. Other than that, great candid moments.
