    I had my camera at work with me, picked up the kids, it was a nice day outside, so decided to take spring pictures of them… These are my kids!  I’m not offering to take pictures for persons (besides friends sometimes) and I’m certainly NOT going to charge ANYONE anytime soon for photo work…If I wanted more serious portraits or whatever, I’d coordinate outfits and take pics while the kids run and play…I get that!

    I’ve bought almost all of my equipment second hand.  I shoot a Rebel XTI.  the 70-200 f/2.8 is a Tamron that I bought off a friend of mine who is a professional photographer.   The only equipment I’ve bought brand new is the 50mm f/1.8 and my 430ex flash.  I’m definitely a hobbyist and don’t have any serious thoughts of “going pro”… eh, whatever, thanks for the critiques 😀

    Thank you for your critique.  Couple things, I do not use the pop up flash and like photos with shallow depth of field using my 70-200 f/2.8. Hence the first picture with the older brother blurred out in the background.  I did that on purpose, but apparently it’s not something I should have done?

    You talk about white balance issues several times, I like warmer toned pictures, not ones that are bright white, overexposed, kill the eyes.  I’ll work on the white balancing.  Gotta get a better carry around reflector/white balance…I’m planning on at some point, getting another flash and a set of pocket wizards, along with several modifiers…

    I’m sure you hear/see this all the time, the friend that I shot the first set of pics from loved the photos and she was there with me when I was shooting, she was helping me pose the boys (her nephews)…The second set on facebook are my two kids shot at a walnut tree farm.

    Can you explain to me what makes you say that?  What’s wrong with those photos?

    Nope, not in business, it’s just a hobby…
