The composition of tonight's photos of Bear vaguely resemble the kinds of pictures that I regularly see floating around the internet. Many of those photos are stunningly beautiful and I would love to be able to create them with my own kids. I am not quite there yet...
I didn't set out to take these ultra close ups of Bear. She was enjoying opening and closing a large bottle of water on my bed and I needed to stay close to her to ensure that she didn't spill too much water. She was sitting still and I needed to take some pictures.
The aim here was to focus on her lashes. I wish that the lashes were sharper and perhaps the rest of her face more in focus. I really didn't need a shutter speed of 1/800 and could have adjusted the aperture or ISO.

This photo was overexposed and some of the detail on her dress was blown out. I have started to use the histogram display a bit more often, which has been interesting. My Canon also helpfully indicates the areas that are blown out. It has been helpful for me to gain a better grasp of exposure. I wish that I could have popped a large card behind her to create some negative space. The deer on the pillowcase is distracting.

I love Bear's eyes here. I hadn't planned on posting this picture but I am falling in love with it more every time I look at it.

Again, I wish that I could have used a quick backdrop. Until now I have been working hard to avoid chopping off the tops of heads and limbs. This has often meant using a portrait orientation, but I like the composition of this picture.

And then, there was a little post bath craziness. Roo used some face part stickers to create funny characters and they all joined in. It was hilarious!!

This one of Rexy is crazy out of focus and the lighting is terrible, but it absolutely could not be left out.
