I have yet to be able to capture Moses standing. He has been standing on his own for awhile now, but I can never get a decent picture of it. That is why I NEED the
Tamron 28-75 mm
. I have three lenses. I have the craptastic kit lens that came with my camera. The pictures aren't sharp and it doesn't do well unless the lighting conditions are perfect. Then I have my 70-300 telephoto lens, which is great for outdoor pictures but bites the big one for indoor pictures. And there's my 50 mm 1.8 lens, which is nice and sharp in low light, but does not zoom. That is no good. Because it is just about impossible for me to avoid chopping limbs with that lens. When I try to get a photo of something where someone's whole body NEEDS to be in the frame, I just can't do it in our weeny little apartment.
These are all straight out of the camera, because when you can't get everything in the frame, what's the point of editing? *sigh*
Exhibit A: Not only is his head chopped off (which could be fine), but also part of his foot. Awesome.
Exhibit B:
I backed up to get rid of the limb chop on his foot, and oh look, he has no face. Thaaaat's great.
Exhibit C:
Adjusted once again, pretty sure I'm standing on the couch in the furthest corner of the room at this point. Head is back, lost an entire foot and part of a leg. Good times.
Exhibit D:
On my tip toes on the couch. We've got the foot back and MOST of the head. . .
Exhibit E:
We've got his whole body, finally, but he has now lost interest in standing for me. This happens constantly. By the time I go through the gymnastics necessary to frame the photo properly, he's done whatever it was he was doing and onto the next thing.
Well, his whole body is definitely in this one. Unfortunately, the standing is over. He fell on his bum, and he's none too happy about it. Poor guy.
Thankfully, Daddy was there to swoop in and pick him up.
Alright. I decided to edit this one, because I LOVE this "I just fell face."
