family portraits
Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes a slew of photography gigs. Saturday I had my nieces and they were by far the hardest. Maybe b/c I am their aunt and they know there is a bit more flexibility, maybe its just their ages but I could not get a series of clear shots. It turned into a battle with low ISO. I am a hard head and I like to take things with no flash and low ISO. Of course this requires good light and no of movement. I had lots of light but with 2 kids (ages 2 and 4) I didn't have stillness. What resulted was 65 pictures of which only 5 have both kids still. Fortunately, Kim was able to decide on one and I learned that I can't have it both ways - low ISO and no flash. Considering I really don't want to use Flash I increased the ISO for day 2....
