My mother doesn't like this image, but I liked it the moment I saw it on the LCD. She doesn't consider it flattering, but I think it's beautiful.
I just got a SB-600 Speedlight the day before I shot this. This flash rocks.

Here's a portrait of Steve. Shot with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens and flashed.

I got a new lens today, a 50mm f/1.8. I wanted to take a step back and approach photography the way I used to when I was a teenager. A zoom lens is nice, but a prime lens forces you to get up and move around. I am hoping the prime will improve my creative vision. (My gawd, I can't believe I just typed this.)
Anyway... fairly low light, so the DoF is shallower than I'd like. At the time, it didn't occur to me to increase the ISO.

Is trying to find me.
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.
I think I need to adjust the time on my camera. This was taken after 9PM. Had to sit still for the 30 second exposure. Those are stars in the background and no, that's not sunlight.

My newest niece... not even a month old yet. She's had a long day.

This is probably the best picture I've ever taken of my daughter. The conversion to black and white really improves, I think.
