You Capture: Warmth

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: You Capture

Photobucket

It has really been warming up here.  I am LOVING this weather.  Gorgeous!  These are the tulips  I bought for my self at Walmart the day after Valentine’s Day half price that Kenny got me for Valentine’s Day. Ha ha! Anyways I took these photos by our door during sunset. I loved the lighting.


The boys played out side again. I am sure you are getting tired of seeing the same type of photos, but it has been so warm and I love seeing the boys so happy.

Critique This Photo Below!

Seriously the sweetest smile EVER!! I love him!

I am also linking up this last photo with Monique’s new blog hop Critique This. This is SOOC besides resizing and sharpening for the web. What do you think?

btw doesn’t my nifty fifty produce beautiful bokeh?

    Thank you for linking up! For the critique..this photo seems a little cold. I would adjust the white balance and brighten up the face. Such a cute baby!!

    Oh, I love it! I am so glad you get to pay outside again with your babies. They have the best smiles. I know that being inside all winter can drive a person batty!

    LOVE the stem shot!! So different from what you'd typically think of when you think "flower shot". Great job. For the critique - I *love* the bokeh! :D I actually like where he is in the photo, too. I do think it looks a little too blue... that happens to me when I forget to set my camera to 'daylight' rather than 'tungsten'. ;)

    Beautiful! I love the vase picture with the stems, the light coming through is gorgeous. & The lighting in the flowers in so dreamy! I'm not good at critiquing, so well done :)

    Such cute shots! He has the most adorable little grin! As for critique....I agree the light is flat... :) But it's a very cute shot!

    your tulips are so beautiful.

    I love the third photo, with the light reflected off the top of your son's head, it is a perfectly clear shot which I know with a 4 year old is hard to capture! Your last shot I like for the bokeh in the background light and the light on the rope swing and again the light on his little head. With some editing to make your son's face clearer and brighter this is a lovely photo.

    The tulip's look so beautiful and the lighting was great. YAY, for warm weather!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your critique photo. First of all, he is a doll, as always. I really like the composition, but the light is flat. It would be nice if there was a little light coming in on camera left, adding some dimension to his face and catching some light in those gorgeous eyes. It also seems a little cool, for my taste, but that is just me. I like photos that look a little warmer.

    I love the bokeh! Woo!! I think there might be a little too much shade on that sweet baby, but other than that I think the shot is perfect!

    Those tulip shots are beautiful. Who could ever get tired at looking at your boys. They're so cute.

    Who in the world could critique these photos? Definitely not me. So sweet, loving watching them grow up through your photos and your flower pics? We have to do another Wordful Wednesday soon, maybe one for each season??

    LOVE the bokeh in that last one. So, so sweet!

    Love the flowers!! SO pretty! For your critique photo: The bokeh is fantastic! :-) Love it! I might would have zoomed in a little more on that sweet face so you could capture those beautiful eyes. Also a little rule of thumb someone passed on to me [not sure how accurate it is, but just passing it on...]when you can't get both limbs [in this case, the hands] in focus, try to get the one closest to the camera the sharpest. Otherwise, this is such a sweet sweet photo!!

    your tulips are gorgeous & you should never ever feel bad for posting pics of your kiddos. they are super cute. (and plus, that's what you want to look back at & remember, right??)

    I love your photos of the tulips. So very lovely. I don't blame you for spending time outside - if it wasn't raining here, that's exactly where we would be! Newbie question - what is 'sharpening for the web' :) I've seen this term twice today now, and I think I might be missing something, lol.
