Sue, George and Kate

Today was the one day of the year I attempt to take a family portrait.

I have done this for each of the last five years, so the comparisons 'year on year'
are now quite interesting.

This was a 'warm-up' before the main pics.

I can honestly say I do not aspire to portrait photography! The management of unwilling subjects
and then all the Photoshop work required which is a total mystery to me.

I prefer taking cow pictures any day!

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/60s f/4.5 at 54.0mm iso100 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I've found this late, but I'm so glad I did. Your family is lovely! Your girls are beautiful. Watch out! :) Oh, and if you need a "portrait photographer" to photograph their weddings, I'm available. ;) V

John, this is a great family portrait! Love the softness of it and the smiling faces.
Your 3 daughters are beautiful! ;)

This is wonderful John! Don't tell me you don't have a fondness for portraits cause if you can do the family, you can do anything. Really like this. Has it been a year already!!!

I'm no expert at this either, and I think you did a fine job. Lovely family John.

Gets my seal of approval. Taking a snap of any member of my folks is a non-starter!

Quite a touch John. Beautiful family. Excellent natural light portrait.
Guest 15-Aug-2006 22:11
Looks great to me John - and at least you've got the flash exposure figured out - that's one essential that I find totally baffling! Lovely smiles and a really great family portrait by the way!
