Just Carson

I typically favor candid shots of my boys doing what they do. And after growing up with a camera in their faces, they usually don't make eye contact with me, while the camera is in hand.
So this is particularly rare that I caught Carson looking at me long enough for me to snap one.
ISO 640
1/125
F: 7.1

absolutely georgous catchlights. he seems so relaxed and not forced at all. it must be from being used to the snapping away! keep up the good work!

Thanks ladies for the kind words.

Mar, I shot this with my 50mm 1.8 lens.

Looking at the exif files I thought that aperture looked off, not something I normally would do, but I can't argue with the camera can i?

Carolyn, this photo is fabulous. i love everything about it.

Just want to add that I have that lens so you have inspire me to stick that sucker on my camera and practise, practise, practise. Coz if i could get a shot half this good, I would be over the moon.
