This time of year almost all my photography is family snaps. I make no attempt to make them artistic, I want to capture events with natural poses and so forth, or at least not serious set-ups.
I generally use direct flash and hand hold. I generally get decent exposure and focus, and I take enough shots to tell a story. But I have trouble with background clutter and room distortion. When I have tried to minimize room distortion using a TSE lens on a Tripod, I have found that pretty difficult, so hand held with normal lenses are really tough.
I also find that christmas tree lights never look like they are on unless you take a shot with the other lights off and let the image go dark everywhere else.
Here are a couple examples, One obviously posed by my grand daughters, but it was their pose not mine. I took it while the smiles were real.
Any suggestions? Next time I may spend a bit more time removing stuff in the background and maybe making more room to maneuver. A sofa was in the way preventing me from getting better angles.
How does the processing look?
