Canceled

A couple of disclaimers.

1. I'm feeling all kinds of refreshed and motivated regarding photography so prepare yourself now for even more pictures than normal over the next several weeks.

2. I forget sometimes that not everyone cares about all the specifics or agonizes over every. little. setting/detail. Feel free to ignore anything you don't care about or understand. :) The information is for the photography geeks who care about settings and technical camera info.

Now on to these pictures.

I've been working on several things regarding my photography, and one of them is great in-camera settings. Getting it right while taking pictures indoors is really hard when there is not adequate light, but this particular morning I am proud of myself for figuring out exposure and white balance. 

It was a dark, rainy Saturday morning, and there wasn't much light, but I think I managed to properly expose for her face. The darkness of the rest of the shot shows the moody feeling to the room.

Or maybe it's all a bunch of bologna. ;)

She had just found out her soccer game was canceled.

You cannot keep this girl sad for long.

I just love her.

I used my 35mm lens and my settings were f2, ISO 640, 1/200 SS. I manually set my Kelvin to 5300 in-camera. Pics are SOOC with the exception of a haze layer. After the first 2 pictures, she picked her head up and faced a little more toward the light, which is why the exposure is a little better for the final pictures.
