    Wow! That looks really nice. Looks like natural light.
    So, you're finally fiddling with the flash eh? I have tried to figure it out and I know it a bit better now but I am still amazed when it's not enough to speed up my shutter speed and I still get motion blur.
    If you learn a few secrets, be sure to share lol! One thing I figured out was to up the flash exposure compensation a bit. That seems to help sometimes.

    The exposure looks really nice - like natural lighting. That's the one thing I hate about the flashes on these cameras - they are fixed. On my film SLR I could angle the flash up so it wasn't shining directly on my subject.

    Anyway - it's a great shot =)

    All you people with this technical camera talk. You're my heroes. Seriously! I want to learn all that fun stuff someday too. :)

    Oh yeah, beautiful pic too!

Dragging the shutter and fun with jumping

Image
So yesterday the boys played around jumping off furniture. Well, actually, they do that everyday but yesterday I took pictures of them doing it. Great way to send those mixed signals when I'm usually yelling at them to stop jumping off furniture. LOL. So the first set is just using the flash with a faster shutter speed. Not actually dragging the shutter. But the second set was taken in a completely dark room using my flash. Pretty cool huh? My SS was 25 with f3.2. I applied the haze action from lilyblue to all of the photos.

Fun at the pumpkin patch and corn maze

Image
Well not so much fun in the corn maze. I actually hated it but I'm one of those people who has issues with getting lost. When I was very little I got lost in a shopping mall. Mind you it was only a minute before my mom found me but that has stood out in my mind over the years. When I've gone back to that mall in my adult life I always laugh because it's so little that no one could really get lost in it. To this day when Ralph and I go to the mall he'll hide off some where and watch me freak out when I can't find him. He thinks it's pretty damn funny. Me not so much. So I pretty much was internally freaking out when we were in the corn maze. I'm pretty sure that'll be the last one I ever do.

Hut 1... Hut 2... Hut 3

This boy is so into sports and action I know I'm in for some ride over the next several years. Seriously. When Jacob plays baseball the boy tries to sneak on the field several times throughout the game. The kid can zoom down the hill on a razor scooter like he's invincible.
