My niece

[Big]

Here are a couple pics of my niece from last summer. I love the first picture, her eyes just melt the camera. I seem to have a problem with over exposed white areas. I tried photoshopping it a bit but I think it took away from the picture. Any tips as to avoid that problem? All suggestions and c&c welcome. Thanks -BIG

Just my 2¢ here, but when I see a thread titled "My (fill-in the blank of some personal relationship) I will not likely comment. I'm not sure why I opened this thread...... except maybe to mention that.

Nice work on getting the eyes.

Thanks, I understand. I changed the thread name to something that involves my situation. I will keep that in mind for the future.

I thought I did anyway, it doesn't show up as being changed on the thread page...

You only have about two minutes to edit the title after submitting. Hope you weren't offended by my comments, it just a personal thing.

Not at all that's fine, like I said it helps me in the future.

Set exposure bias to +2/3 or thereabouts, spot meter and lock on the white, lock focus on the eyes, recompose. That should get the whites relatively bright. If you need to balance things out you can finagle a RAW in post pretty easily to fix the issues.

Hmmm, I don't know if the ol' P&S can handle that. I know I can raise or drop the exposure bias but the RAW shooting is out. I'll try to remember that for my future DSLR!
