Photography Question 

Pat Wimpee 		 

Please need suggestions


 
 
I'm beginning to take more pictures of friend's children and I've noticed when doing a pose like this, the baby's shoe appears much bigger than the rest of the photo. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. This was taken with studio lighting, using the 28-85 IS lens zoomed in.

Anonymous Anon 		  as an amateur, I would play around with the F value. Not sure though.

Bob Cammarata 		  Try backing up, and zooming out to 75 or 80 mm.
The exaggerated foreground is a result of a wide-angle setting,...(probably 28 mm).

Kimberly J. Whipps 		  Try shooting from a slightly higher angle. I found that if I shoot straight on that shoes or, heaven forbid, 'bottoms' look larger than they should.
