Kate had her friend, J over for a playdate today and this is baby sister. As I said before, Kate LOVES baby Daphne! Kate is holding her in this photo but I cropped out as much as I could (some polka dots are peeking through).

Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/5.6

P.S. I am adding this so I will remember because I had a big breakthrough today. I have always been so intimidated by shooting in manual but today something clicked for me. I was trying to get a photo of Kate this morning on Aperture Priority but the shutter was SO slow that all the images were blurry. So, it clicked in my blonde little ditzy head...that I could set the aperture AND the shutter speed. So, I did. I did it all day long and I got this too.....
and this...
I added a texture that a kind flickr person sent me. The tulips were taken with my 85mm lens.

I love your tulips...and well...that baby with those soulful eyes...how darling.
So so so great when something clicks, isn't it??? It usually happens like that for me...completely out of the blue.
I really enjoyed these images...

What a beautiful baby! Great pictures!
All of these photos are gorgeous! I don't even know what you are talking about with setting speeds. I am anxious to learn more.
I just love tulips!!! Baby D is so adorable; I can see why Kate loves their visits.
I never even knew what manual meant. Thanks for the tip :)
Way to go! You've inspired me to give that manual mode another try. I did do that with a picture of my son jumping on the bed. It was the only way I could capture it. On the whole though, I wimp out because I'm so afraid I'll miss the moment. The pictures you took are an inspiration and quite a motivating factor to step out of my comfort zone.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you did good!
I tried to learn more about my camera this weekend but I need lessons! lol
Way to go using manual! They are beautiful...I just want to kiss those big baby cheeks! :)
Beautiful baby! Great photos!
