Pumpkin Patch Pictures

I took my kiddos to a local pumpkin patch to practice and let them each get a little pumpkin.  I had a few problems.  #1 was that I forgot to change over to RAW.  I really want to shoot in RAW when I am doing these kinds of pictures, so I need to remember to change it over.  I also (after this shoot) changed my AF area to "wide", I had it on spot, but have been having problems getting the focus and loosing it (as you will see with my youngest, she's OOF a little because it focused on the hay for some reason, probably because I focused on her eyes, then moved the camera a little and it changed the focus.  Anyway, I would have liked to change the WB after because they all came out a bit orange, but I was able to (mostly) fix that, but that would have been much easier if I shot in RAW.  So anyway, here's my results:





 On a side note, I plan to get a 50mm 1.8 lens very soon, so I'm looking forward to trying that out in the very near future!

Not much to show for a while

Well, I really haven't done a whole lot lately, my kids are ornery as usual about me taking their pictures.  Especially the baby!  I really wish she would just let me take a good picture of her for my wall!  Anyway, I did get a couple of pictures of my nephew yesterday when I was over there.  I guess I didn't check my settings when taking them, though because I had to do some work to fix the lighting and such on them.  I need to remember to check the settings right before taking the picture!  Anyway, I'm going to post SOOC (straight out of camera) and after editing, just to show.
