Coffee coffee coffee! Please! Monday morning again. The morning has been filled with loving up kids and ensuring they are happy, fed and mentally stimulated for the day.  The bouncing baby Boy is about to go to bed for his first nap, this will be my cue to bring out the camera!  The day is overcast, really dark.  Sometimes I have been able to get some great photos with this kind of light, just a matter of getting the light directed on the subject in the right way.   Sounds easy, it never is.  Light is always an issue with taking photos, the brightness, the direction of the light, the colour/colours of the light.  I'm using a Nikon D5000 which is a great camera to use even on auto setting.  I will need an F-Stop of 5.6 to let the most amount of light in, my shutter speed will be about 1/20.  I'm going to use the tripod to ensure I get no camera shake.  This gets the clearest photos possible.  Maybe too much info? Just thought I would share as there is always people asking me these questions on ebay.  Sadly I don't have time to share the whole process but one day...... for now I will have to just show you the doll photos when completed :D

Must go to the post office today and check if my custom kit for a long time customer has arrived from   Irresistables.

Blog you later friends.
