{autumn} by M3

Here's Ro, fooling around in the backyard, with some leaves that the girls and I collected on a leaf hunt. Yes, that's right, we had to import leaves to make it look like fall around our house...

In this next one, Ree is on the top and Ro is on the bottom. Kind of a twin autumn sandwich. :-)

DSC_8085LR

Both pictures were taken on November 17 around 3:15pm in our shaded but bright backyard with my Nikon D300, Nikon 30mm lens, no flash, 1/125 at f/5.6, ISO 640, with color tweaking and other minor corrections done in Lightroom. (Disclaimer: My husband just brought home a huge, new monitor, which is wonderful, but the color calibration is giving me fits... hope these pics look ok...)

If you'd like the see the other autumn pics I took, I posted them on our blog "Do They Have Salsa in China?"

I like these much better full size, they're beautiful smaller, but they're gorgeous full sized!
The lighting is absolutely perfect, their skin, their eyes... stunning! Totally worth hauling in the 'props' :)

M3 you have to promise to put that second one in a big frame - at least 8x10 size. It's so perfect, I love absolutely everything about this!

Hey thanks, guys!!

I ended up redoing my blog header and using these images, and I'm definitely taking Julia's advice to frame the bottom one, so this theme was SO worth the effort. :-)

The lighting is perfect in both of these, with spot-on exposure. Great job on both of these!! And love those gigantic leaves. Wow!
