    Default Natural light portraits

    I've been off sick the last couple of days and after playing GTA4 to death, I decided to snap off a few shots of my daughter. Both natural light using a gold reflector.

    That first one's nice mate, really good baby pic (i'm not broody, but won't show it to the wife ) although think the focus is just a wee bit off, think you've actually managed to focus on his mouth and the eyes are just a little bit oof. But appart from that the lighting's really nice in it, nice and bright without looking too over-exposed.

    The 2nd pic, again out of focus but also think compared to the 1st shot isn't anywhere near as good, doesn't hold the interest as long for sure.

    Cheers belial, I agree the focus is ever so slightly out, but the expression is about the best I've managed to get out of Kaila so it makes up for that.

    I'd suggest it would be her mouth, being his daughter...

    That's enough to make any woman broody.
    I quite like the focus on the mouth, although it does make her left eye a little too blurry.
    Great pictures though, the gold filter has made the first one come out very well. And far better than shooting hos on GTA IV

    I definitely prefer the 1st shot over the 2nd. Also agree that the focus seems to be more on the mouth but I imagine she's a little more wriggly than my little'un right now and I've fast found that it's hard to get specific features in focus if they're wriggling

    Lovely shots mate.

    The third one is best of the bunch mate, wrong focus points on the first two, shame as they could have been equally as good.
