p.1 #1 · Autumn toddler environmental portrait

Hello folks. Here are a few from Halloween morning, we had a bit of good weather so headed out to a deciduous forested area and I attempted to capture a good environmental portrait of the young fella for the grandparents, who we haven't seen in a little bit. He started to walk recently, so is a little unsteady on his feet, and still prefers mucking about on all fours at times. Under the wooded shade shutter dropped to 1/30th, but got some good light in clearing areas. The last two are the full lengths one of which I printed and sent up to the folks. I know the light is not as 'Autumn Gold' as it could be, but it was what it was. A little cold and wintery!

Hi F.

The #4 image is my fav of this set.

Very cute.

My Simple Suggestion: When you see him again..get some shots of him walking, even if he is holding grandma's hand.

Good light to you.

Thanks folks, yeah the first few were an exercise in IS, 1/30 with a moving subject in dull shade! The last two were the shots I was after. The little light spot on the tree behind him bothers me a little, but it's good PP practice to get rid of it. Thanks for looking! Steadman, the plan is to get those types of shots asap!
