Baby Ayana's newborn shots.

This is little baby Ayana. So sweet. I took these photos in a pretty dark room. I had the choice to go with a lower ISO with a wider aperture... or higher ISO with a smaller aperture. I should have gone with the higher ISO. I didn't get as much clarity in the photos as I would have liked. BUT, next time. :D It's easier to fix the noise in a photo from a high ISO then and out of focus image.

Which brings me to another thing... I think my nifty 50 lens (50mm 1.4) needs a tune-up. I bought it used on Ebay and I never really got it checked out. I have issues with my auto-focus. It tends to focus close to... but, not on... the spot I want to focus on. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think I'll stop by a local camera shop this weekend and see what they say. If it does need to be fixed: I don't know how I'm going to make it without my 50! I use it everyday. I do have the kit lens... just not the same. :) Happy Friday everyone!

Do you want to vote for my blog? Ok! Just takes a moment.

Welcome baby Ayana.

The sweet little Ayana was born on Friday, May 6th... She is the daughter of my very best friend: Courtney. Birth is just so amazing. Each and every time one of my friends has a baby... I'm just in awe. We're all so strong, mama's. Congrats to Courtney, Jamen, and welcome to Ayana. Love.

By the way: that little onesie I had custom made for Ayana. Courtney went to USC and her hubby loves them too! The lady that made this is the same person that made that camera tee for Ruari (right here). Check out the shop: Melon Dot!

Thumbs up?
