Great eye detail, is there room for a brain behind those optics.
Are you going to reveal the new equipment to us?

Agree with John about the blanket but the light is lovely... very well balanced (imo) between natural light and the flash used...
Did you use a modifier?
Thanks David.
sorry no idea what a modifier is?
Umbrella, softbox, beauty-dish, even a stoffen all count as modifiers.
Thanks for clarifying that David, all I have is the Stoffen but did not use it on this occasion as it was just a quick grab.

Lovely images of the children, maybe a darker blanket would have been better. The one you have used is very bright and a bit distracting.
Thanks John and Gary, the tighter crop in the first was because she has band-aids on the knee and he was kicking his feet around. The blanket was just on hand but will take a bit of time and thought next time. Great to have this forum and the input from other members to help improve.

Grabbed some quick shots of the Grandkids yesterday, was a bit rushed, just threw a blanket up and put the seat down, placed the kids in the seat and-----got about 5 shots before young Jayce fell over

I would go the 300 f4, if you want the extra length get a 1.4 converter, cant beat that DA 300 IMHO.
