Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Love the expression in the 2nd and 3rd - especially the cheeky, gummy grin! Gotta love that SB800!

It's a wonder they're not :lol: I think I've taken close to 500 shots of them so far.

At this rate, I'll need to buy shares in Imation to afford all the DVD-R's :shock:

Don't worry, I change plenty :lol:

I think the SB800 keeps them dazed so much, they don't know what's going on. :roll:

BBJ wrote:Hi Dave, great pics there and nice ones at that, thats ok mate lots of pic more the better build a nice album up.

At the moment we have 3 albums running concurrently; one for each of them and a 3rd with pics when they're both together. I'm a bit concerned that by the time they're 21, we'll have a room full of photo albums & DVD's :shock:

Glen wrote:Dave, all good shots but that first needs framing and putting on the wall

Thanks Glen. The 1st pic is a certainty to go up on the wall.

Any advice or comments on how these could be improved, or other ideas I could/should try ??

Thanks for sharing Dave,
Andy and Jen are certainly more lively then the last shots your posted.
I don't really have any helpful suggestions on how to improve these, but I think you have the right attitude, they are only babies once so take as many photo's of them now as you can.
I might add that each time my wife see's someone's baby photo's on here, she gets a little more clucky :shock:
Again thanks for sharing!

Wow, cute baby shots. My only complaint is your second shot's WB is way cooler than all the other ones. Just my opinion.

thanks Neeper. On looking again, it does look much cooler, doesn't it ! I'll re-PP the NEF again and see where I went astray.....I suspect I let CS2's ACR "Auto WB" it instead of using "As Shot".

Thanks for the feedback :)

1st shot is wonderful, even shows the little "baby blotches" in their skin which makes the shot authentic, a great keepsake here Dave.
