Click it Up a Notch

    Since I have been entering several contest just for fun why not another one :) right?
   
    Courtney at http://www.clickitupanotch.com/ is hosting What's your favorite/best photo for the month of May; now that's hard because how do you choose just one! Yes I know we still have a few days in May but we can choose our favorite so far. Actually I had help once I narrowed down from over 800 plus pictures to just a few then asked my boys (meaning hubby and kids) we all decided that the following is our favorite......

This was taken last week on a strangely windy day for May in Az so this little guy was sitting on his stroller keeping warm and cozy.


We love it for several reasons; he is just a special little guy that I have the pleasure to take care of while his parents work. He actually turned 6 months yesterday... happy 6 month birthday little buddy!!! I can't wait to do a six month session with him and his wonderful parents. I have my head packed with ideas. 

The photographer in us(hubby included-without him not sure I could follow this crazy dream of mine) loves the fact that this is SOOC no editing at all!  Yes, I know you can sharpen the eyes on Photoshop to have them look like this but truth be told I don't really know how to do that yet and that is why it makes us so happy to have this picture look like this. On this particular day we were using a brand new peice of glass (Micro 60mm f2.8) on our D7000 settings were as follow
1/640s  f3.2  ISO400 and we had the focus point set on "spot" right in between his eyes. We were under a ramada but he could still see the sky.
