Family Portrait #1

Description

I am not sure that I got my lighting right - I tried numerous shots and these were the best. I also tried one in BW just to see if I would like the photos better. I still need to work on WB - I don't think I am getting the best reading when I custom set the WB in my camera. Maybe I need a bigger gray card?? Anyway, I am expecting to learn a lot from the critique on these. I need to work on not getting the light too bright on one person and too dark on another. My other challenge was photographying an Albanian family. They have a hard time with "out of norm" posing. My place to photograph is very tiny and not a lot of variety because of that and what they are accustomed to.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
