Family Portrait @ East West Center - 11/22/09

Today's lesson was Family Portraiture. It was late afternoon so the East West Center Garden was nice and shady. It seemed like perfect lighting for taking portraits but I found that my photos lost color and skin tone had a bluish tinge and was pretty hard to correct. I'm not sure if it was because of the pixel size I use, but I think my next year's resolution will be to start shooting in RAW mode!
I tried doing a HDR of the bamboo.
Photographing kids are always a challenge but it's also soooo funny seeing them squirm thru the session.
You have to have great patience until you get that perfect expression.
