My Kids
Hi everyone,
I photographed my kids yesterday using the same backdrop and under the exact same conditions. It was between 3 and 4 in the afternoon and very gray outside (ah, January in Michigan!). I used a large south facing window, placed the kids about six feet in front of it and used a backdrop of a green wool cape. I can't believe the difference in the lighting! Obviously I am not the world's greatest photographer. I shot the photos with my Pentax Optio 33L with 3.2 pixels. I set the white balance on both for shade. My daughter's skin tones read quite true, my son has more olive skin but I was surprised how overexposed and warm the light was on him verses the cool tones on my daughter. I am happy with my daughters and I love the expression on him but the photo may be unsuitable. I want to paint these to hang together. Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated.
