Twins & Mia

Description

I used a Nikon lens 55mm-200mm for this shot. This photo was taken in Aperture Priority, 1/60 sec., f/5.6, 55mm, ISO 500, flash added to camera was used. The time of day was 5:45 pm.

There is a lot of detail in the background that I wouldn't normally leave. It's appropriate for the focal length of 55mm.

These are the most active children belonging to a friend of mine. They were on full steam ahead and never really stopped to "pose". I literally ran around behind them and tried to get a focused shot. Not a photo session I care to ever repeat. I had reflectors and lights ready but they were useless in this situation. This was a case where I was out of control and it was very frustrating. I'm not very pleased with these photos but I always learn.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, return light detected, ISO: 500, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 55.00 mm, Model: NIKON D5100
