This is awesome!!! I love it!

[Hom74]

Here's one I took this month. Nothing special, but I just love it when I can catch some expression (other than 'doh'), even if it's crying or making a funny face lol.

Manual/RAW/Natural Light (in the shade - eek lol)
SS 1/1600 sec
f/3.2

w/my 50mm 1.8

I'm always open to CC. So I guess I should've opened it up more since it was in the shade, but I often don't think about it/am quick enough as we keep running back and forth between shade and sun. With a smaller f-stop I would also change the SS.

Okay, I'll play this time. Had a photo shoot with my neighbors and their daughter yesterday out at an old winery. A lot of my shots were too soft, unless I was right up on the subject, but this one I definitely like. Photoblast Pro B&W on the photo. ISO 100 1/50 f/5.6 31mm. This is Adrienne.http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f112/coloradogigi/Adrienneforweb.jpg

totally dorky pic, but i like it! LOL

cloudy as heck today, so:

ISO 800, 1/25, f/4.5, 27mm, all manual, natural light

NOT a world-class photo, but it does crack me up :)

[matthewsmom]

holy goodness mamakimberly. She's FLEXIBLE!! :) Michelle, your picture is STUNNING. Hom74, what an adorable, determined expression on that little one!!

[mamakimberly]

I am such a goob to not comment!! I admired all of the pics but didn't leave any comments!

I think they are all so sweet though!

I especially like that upclose son of your son Angela! so sweeeet!

And Karen, I totally understand getting cute expressions! I hate the "zoned" look that I get most of the time.

[Chey]

My little rascal. :) Not the best photo ever, but I love DS' expression on this one. Especially since of late all he does is turn his back when he spots the camera. I've used the Pro B&W and Pro Sattle actions from PhotoBlast, and combined them with a Aly's Vintage action.

Karen your dd is so cute! I totally understand how hard it is to keep up w/ the settings when chasing after toddlers! That is something I struggle w/ too. I usually don't do full manual mode b/c of that---but that is something I need to work on.

Everyone has great pix! I love all the different expressions on the children's faces and the photo of the bird is amazing....the color is so intense.

This is our youngest son, Christopher. Certainly not my best photo, but it is my current favorite for the month so far.

Beautiful and fun pics girls!

LOL! Love the bunny smelling a pumpkin! (or is it a lamb?) Great shot.

[AWiles]

lol...it is a lamb!!

[pbumbaca]

WOW! Those are some amazing shots! Each and every one has it's own special thing about it! Great stuff everyone!

I'd love to know Peggy, what kind of bird is that blue one?

I'd be embarrassed to share my photos here because I can only tell you I used my Digi Rebel Auto Mode! LOL! I never take it out of Auto Mode, don't know how!

You can do it Pam! Hey, I'll let you in on a secret--I don't do full manual either;) I usually have it in AV mode.

[katiescarlett]

Wow, Wow, WOW! I am totally in awe of some of the pictures. I've not yet learned how to take my Canon DRebel off automatic but you girls are certainly inspiring me to learn.

Here's my current favorite of DGD taken at the pumpkin patch last weekend.

[peepsmama]

WOW! There are some amazing photos here. Lovely kids!!

I don't have all of the technical info, but I was really pleased with this photo (taken with my Canon A630).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/peepsmama/IMG_0157.jpg

[Jezza]

I don't know if this is considered a good shot or not :blush but I like it :p esp. the colour (and I've not fixed the image in any way possible!)

I appologise of the size. Sorry

[pbumbaca]

OK, here's my kitten SOX. I just love the sunlight from behind him (even tho he's not supposed to be on the counter)!

Again, I've never really used the camera out of Auto or P mode, taken with Canon Digi Rebel using the 450EX External Flash, 75-300 lens.

Can I add another? I love this one (http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=35256&cat=500&ppuser=481) which I took a few days ago. Ran a B&W action on it (from my new pro photo action pack) and then added a brown tint. LOVE the expression of joy on his face.

[AndreaBurns]

[DistressedDiva]

Wow!! All of these photos are just great! I have no idea where to start with taking my new Rebel off of manual! But these are all just great!

[Theresa Hernandez]

Wow!!! These are all so awesome!! It has inspired me to take some photos. i've been remiss in that!

[Pachimac]

This is my favorite picture I've taken of Melissa in a long time - and it almost wasn't!!! I'm sure you all read about my photo erasing fiasco - well I had sent this one in a PM to Shabby Miss Jenn and her computer saved it - FULL SIZE!!! I have to figure out how I'm going to scrap it now.

This is totally untouched, taken in natural sunlight with a point and shoot! I can't wait to get a dSLR!!!!
