Constructive Feedback Friday



Perfect timing for Constructive Feedback Friday. This is a picture I took on Christmas eve this past year. Getting the lighting and everything just right was not going to happen as one of these kids was not about to sit for more than 2 seconds and had a meltdown shortly after this was taken. Therefore, I got one shot. My mother in law has asked for a copy of this picture since then (this is all her grankids) and I just haven't been able to edit it so that it looks right.

Specs are:
Sony DSC-H7
Flash - used
focal length- 14.1mm
Exposure - .125s (1/8)
Aperture - f/3.2
ISO - 125
SOOC:

Fixed Red eye - made all the eyes look black. They are actually blue - light blue even.

Removing some of the color:
With a touch of sepia and a bunch of other things I can't remember doing (this is my favorite edit, though).


All editing was done using photoshop elements 5.0
It is my goal to have a copy of this for her for mothers day (or else beg mother nature and a certain five year old to cooperate so I can take a better one today). What would you do to fix this photo?

I love constructive feedback...


My son is just too cool these days for mom's photo shoots. I take what I can get out of him. This shot so did not turn out, but then I had zero time to change any settings on my camera. Thus, it's a tad overexposed!

ISO - 100

f/3.8

1/320

I messed with it a little...
I'd really like to know how to get a shot that's not overexposed without having to set the shutter speed so high on a really bright day?
