An exercise in shutter speed

Quite possibly the world's most photogenic child...not biased or anything.




Jason is such a great dad...
I love how Jason is focused while Grant "the wild animal" is blurry in the background.


Working the aperature here...hand in focus, faces are blurry. Love this new freedom.
This silouhette shot touches my heart! This baby is so loved by his brothers...

I recently purchased a DVD set upon recommendation by another photog. friend. These DVDs are instructional - some basic info like how to turn your camera on, and how to change your lens. But alot of great information on aperature, shutter speed and ISO. These are geared towards parents taking pictures of their kids. The first DVD is called "refuse to say cheese" and it's about capturing the story of your children, versus interrupting their lives by asking them to grin while you fry their little eyes with your flash. I really apprecited the relaxed and easy to understand style of this set. It is produced by Mera and Brian, a husband and wife team that started Me Ra Koh photography. You can order the set from here. If you're interested, check it out. You won't be disappointed. Here are some shots from an exercise in shutter speed that Mera recommended. I learned how to "blow out" my background by lowering the shutter speed...I was very excited by what I captured.
