He finally allowed me to take a couple quick photos. I was using a new (to me) camera and lens so it is a bit of a learning curve for me. I am not even sure about my settings because I didn't have time to ck (he was rushing me), and I am not familiar enough with the camera yet to quickly change things.

Carol, I like his expression in this one (even if it is saying, "Mom! Not again!"), and the tree adds great texture to the photo. But, I love the portrait with the plain background because it shows off his hair so grandly. Well done!

Thanks so much Neal and James! James, I like his expression in this one too; he has that little half-smile, and I like the devilish look in his eyes. But you are right about the hair not showing up as good; in fact, it kind of blends in with the tree. I might have gotten a bit more blurred BG but I was shooting at F7.1. It was only the 2nd time I have used the new camera, and while it is an Oly too, it has a lot more buttons than mine, and they are in slightly different places. I didn't have time to hunt how to use it because I knew Justin wouldn't wait around! The lens is a really good lens, 14-54mm 2.8-3.5 and should be a really good portrait lens. I told you in the other discussion (other portrait) that I have not been shooting much myself, but hopefully we are heading to AL/TN around June 11th so I hope to get some nice shots while there. I haven't been to the Smokies (with a camera) when everything is green, so I think it will be really nice. Guess I'll take both cameras in case I don't learn the settings on the new one, so I can at least use the new lenses on the old camera.

You are doing FINE with the new camera. No doubt, you'll know it back and forward by the time you head North (actually, that sounds funny--heading NORTH to Alabama, the Heart of Dixie). I'm looking forward to seeing your shots from the Smokies! And enjoy the trip!
