I'd like it better if all the dandelions were in focus.

Yeah I still haven't figured out how to fully focus correctly. I usually can only get part of the subject in focus.

Sounds like you may need to change your f/ stop then. That's what, 1.8? Try 2.8. That way you'll have the subject in focus and also some creamy bokeh.

I am going to feel stupid but I don't know how to change that...

What camera do you have?

Nikon D40x

Quoting ~*Icat*~:" anyone good with designing? i need a cute watermark. also, when any of you started out with free sessions, ... [snip!] ... pictures to your subject at the end of the session? Or did you do like professionals, and give them X amount and keep the rest?"

I can't read through all the pages so I'm just going to jump in here. Why are you doing free sessions? If it's just for fun, then give as many or as few as you want. If it's portfolio building sessions and you're doing it for free in exchange for a signed model release form, then don't waste your time editing all the pictures. Choose the ones you really really like and would consider using in your portfolio and only edit them. When I was starting out with PB shoots, I did them for free, edited the pictures I liked and gave the CD of the edits to my clients for a charge of €50. I also did some PB shoots with really close friends and family and gave them the CD of my picked out edits for free. Now when I do PB shoots in exchange for a signed model release, I give the client 3 free 5x7 prints and the option to buy more prints if they see more of my final edits that they really like.

It's just a mommy snap, right? I think it's fine. He doesn't have super obvious cheeto mouth to me.  

I can't even tell he was eating cheetos!

Yeah, his mom really liked it and wanted it to be cleaned up a bit. For some reason it still looks super orange on my screen. I think it's because it was so bad before and I kept thinking I wasn't doing anything to fix it haha.

Taking Tyler to the doctor today.   He could barely breathe last night and woke up screaming.
