September Natural Light

Here are my "natural light pictures" for the Kabobs September Photo Assignment.

I've been visiting my family in Sacramento California for the past week, so I thought I'd use the opportunity to catch some natural light images of my 16 month old nephew (Preston). It was fun to kinda follow him around to see what I could catch, he has such an expressive face and a happy personality.

Here are three images that I liked. I used my 70-200mm f2.8 lens wide open to keep a narrow depth of field.
This first picture is indoors next to a large picture window at a restruant, soft morning light.
The second picture is outdoors, with slightly cloudy soft morning light.
This last picture is later morning light, getting to be a bit harder, as the clouds dissipated.


I also took pictures of my mom, 88 years young, whose naturally silver hair works great with any light. In this case it was a huge skylight right above her at our favorite coffee & croissant shop (a regular morning ritual when I visit).

She thought I should try to make this an action shot, so she told me to take this picture and to use it. I'm a good son and do what I'm told.
All inputs and comments welcome.
Once again, this was a fun assignment, looking forward to the October assignment.
My Best to all of you,
David Gralian
