Outside Portraits {The Picture Perfect Project #2}

For the second installment of The Picture Perfect Project and I focused on taking outside portraits of the girls. Both Kinsey and Brielana are outdoorsy chicks and any excuse to get a breath of fresh air around here, they pounce on it. And I guess having a park right down the street doesn't hurt either ;)

I had to remember to adjust the ISO and the shutter speed when in sunlight otherwise I wound up with a bunch of over-exposed pictures that I couldn't save with editing. Even though I got a few very cool actions shots (think flying off the slide) they were just yuck and I was disappointed. Guess that's why practice makes perfect! Another thing I need to remember to do is focus; they are slightly blurry and I didn't notice on my tiny iPhone screen but once they were uploaded on my computer and magnified, I noticed it.

Photographs:

Settings AP 2.2 ISO 32 S 1/366

Settings AP 2.2 ISO 320 S 1/2052

Settings AP 2.2 ISO 32 S 1/1208

Editing:

Settings AP 2.2 ISO 160 S 1/1953

This is my favorite picture of the girls this month! They aren't even looking directly at the camera but they look so sweet and little; a perfect reflection of how they are exactly at this moment in time.

Settings AP 2.2 ISO 32 S 1/62

Here's where focusing better would come in handy. It's o.k but the sharper image would have been better.

And again with the focusing!

And there you have it: February is in the books!
