Grandchild 4
I have found the time to process a couple more grandchild and family photos from last weekend, age 2 weeks.
I was taken by the symmetry of the parental arms in the lower photo. Others in this group can be found here.

Thanks Toad – it feels like I am just learning how to do it, as these are some of my first. More tomorrow I am afraid. I have had very little time to take pictures, and the light and weather has not been too cooperative when I have had openings.

Thank you Ken, that is a great compliment for a task like this. These are more from my old pentax 35mm lens, I sure like out it works out.

I like the top one best, the way the focus is on mother and baby and that dad is slightly out of focus and in the background. It is so subtle, maybe it is my eyes?

Hi Kathryn, that is how it is, not imagined. But not really planned. The light was low and fading and the lens I was using was pretty slow lens, but I tried to get a bit more depth of field out of it. However, I did not want to push the ISO any higher so I had to live with a fairly shallow depth of field, though I thought it was deep enough to work out.

Serendipity is the best part of creating any artwork. It looks great regardless of intention.

It looks like you are enjoying the new little subject, and your role as her portrait photographer! I love the parents’ smiles in the top photo, and the way your daughter’s face is lit.

Hi Melinda – I am enjoying it. This was a requested session, I took tons of photos but have only had time to select and process a few since then. I expect a few more will show up. That lighting was lucky – a narrow brighter shaft of light came in one of the windows, not too bright but filtered by clouds and fell on part of her face. I got a few photos before the cloud moved back over.
