Hannah's 1st Christmas photos - take 1

These were taken Monday night...on her 10-month mark. They were taken with our new toy (dSLR Canon Rebel XT that we bought Friday after Thanksgiving) but didn't start using till last Wednesday when we got our CF card that we ordered in the mail - we didn't realize it took a CF card till after.

This is my attempt at portraits at home since we haven't been pleased with what's available in town. So I don't know that much regarding lighting and technical stuff yet...and I'm learning a lot about stuff as I'm going along. These photos are really really rough...shadows and all sorts of odd things. Only a few of the many...not even the best...but just a sample...

Actually looking at the camera

She was crawling all over the place. It was hard to get a good shot.

She took the flower off of the tree, amongst other things.

Playing with the flower was keeping her just occupied enough to not destroy the tree.

Wow! Great job! You already have a little studio set up with lighting and everthing. What did you use for your lighting setup?

I ought to try it too. After all, we do have our first christmas tree up. Hmm....

Did you try to get all the same kinds of incandescent lighting or is there a mixture of different kinds of lights? (fluorescent, etc)
