Beautiful Family!

It was the PERFECT day for this photoshoot! We never have enough days like this here in Utah. What made it even better, was spending time with this wonderful family - who also happen to be awesome relatives of mine!

Thanks Steve and Tammy for a wonderful time! I had LOTS of fun photographing your beautiful family!

Here's your sneak peek. Enjoy! =)

    Technical question: What shutter speed, aperture and iso did you use for those family shots???

    Thanks so much everyone!!!

    Karen, the first few family shots are combined images - 3 total, in fact.

    First of all, for the water effect, I did a very slow shutter speed and high aperature.

    Water shot:
    ISO 200
    F/22
    SS 1/8 sec
    Manual Mode
    Nikon D300, 24-70mm 2.8

    The second shot was taken to properly expose for the bridge that was in the sunlight to avoid blowout. Not sure if you'd care for the settings there or not?

    And finally, I took the shot of the family and then merged all 3 exposures together. Yes, it took a lot of work, but it was well worth it! =)

    Lisa thanks for that info. I was wondering how you got the water smooth and still go the family in focus. Now I know:)
