Simple Sunday: Outdoors

Welcome to Simple Sunday where I link up with Rebecca from Simple as That.

First off, I'm learning so much about exposure modes and shooting techniques from being outside and shooting (see this coming Wed's post!), but also re-evaluating the ways I shoot from talented and experienced photographers. I'll have to share those tips in separate posts. Some tips turn my current shooting techniques on their head. Just goes to show that there's NO one way to shoot!

Shining leaf
Canon T1i | Manual | 50mm | ISO 400 | f/2.2 | 1/400 sec
This was taken 2 weeks ago. Currently he's sick at home with an ear infection :(. 

Here's our son under the shade of some trees. I love the soft light, glow on top of our son's head, and the bokeh...oh, the bokeh. I love that at this age he's so fascinated with the simplest things -- even a leaf.

Photo note: Our son's right arm is out of focus because I was using a low f-stop. I'm using ISO 400 because we're in the shade. And lastly, I added warmth to the photo by increasing the "temperature" in Lightroom 4.1.

Hope you'll link up with Rebecca from Simple as That!!!! You don't need a fancy camera or editing software, just snap something simple and link up :).


P.S. Rebecca from Simple as That is hosting a giveaway - enter for a chance to win her book, some photoshop actions, and a cute camera strap cover!
