What I have been up to lately ... (4)
Family photos for friends of mine … 2 year olds again! It was like herding cats!! Still trial and error with Lightroom, but learning new things each time.
After the posed photos I busted out the bubble machine, they were smiling then of course. I did grab some fun candids of the girls playing with the bubbles!
Very nice set. The last one is a wall hanger!

Thank you! Also did it in B&W … love the classic look of B&W, but still always end up favoring the color shots.
Your bubble shots are fantastic.
When your subjects are backlit, try using your flash, even outside. In my opinion this gives a better color rendition than using the backlight mode on your camera or brightening your shadows in post.
But dang, those bubbles are true keepers.
Thanks Joe, will give that a try next time!
I have MORE bubble shots!! hahaha!
Great shots Christy, the children are adorable.
Nice set of family pictures. The girl's pictures with the bubbles is adorable. I think your second picture could use some help. I re-worked it using only Lightroom and will send it to you if you wish. Let me know and I will send it to you via Private Messages.

OH MY! I am not a lover of people photos (I love birds, animals, landscapes and flowers) BUT, the last two of your first set and the first two of your second set are super fantastic in my eyes. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jim, yes please send your edit. I was honestly just playing around, in Lightroom, and was excited to turn the ppl B&W and still have color in the back. I obviously didnt recheck the brightness of their faces. I just recently bought Lightroom and boy, is there a LOT to learn! My first editing software other than what came standard on my laptop! Thanks for commenting!
Thanks Jo! People photos are definately giving me a challenge, especially lil people!! Thanks for picking out your favorites, thats always interesting to me .... How favorites vary between other people and my taste. Thanks for commenting!
