Click me for full sized photo

The Stats: 
Nikon D70
Sigma 18-55mm lens
SB-600 speedlight at +1.0 pointed toward the ceiling
1/500 sec exposure
f/5.6
ISO 200
31mm focal length

The Process: Adjusted white balance and converted to JPG using RAW Shooter Essentials.

The Story: Liam is 3 months old! He's getting to be such a big boy. He was actually sitting up in this photo (as opposed to last month when he was actually in motion falling over.) I have named his cow for him. It's La Vaca.

The Highlights: I learned from his last photo shoot. I put the camera on the tripod. After I focused, I moved my face to the side so that he could see me. This resulted in a big smile. Success!

The Lowlights: I should have paid a little closer attention and cropped or edited out the electrical socket in the lower left. (I bet you didn't even notice it until reading this. I didn't notice it until I set this photo as the background on my desktop.)


The Outtake: 

Liam is a kung fu staring contest ninja. I call him "panda bear." (If none of that made sense, you haven't seen the trailer for Kung Fu Panda 2.) Here he is practicing his skills with his La Vaca.
