Soft baby portrait
by Mike Richardson
Soft eyed baby portait Shot with a Nikon D200 and 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. ISO 100 SS 1/125 sec and F/8. Camera was handheld and lighting was provided by a 300 W/S strobe with medium softbox. Exposure was measured with a Sekonic light meter as being correct. Why is this image ( and most of this set) exceptionally soft? I'm assuming it's motion blur from the moving subject but I routinely shoot my older daughter with similar settings and don't end up with this. Won't the strobe help to "freeze" the subject even if she is moving? Click here to read or post comments.
