Obligatory “Snow-Mageddon” Post | Cora Shiloh

Monday, February 8, 2010 Posted in Infant, Kids, Portrait

Well, as most of the world knows, DC got a TON of snow this past weekend, and more coming! Of course, this would be a normal snow for a place like Wyoming or New York, but I’ll go along with the hype.

These are just a few shots I got, didn’t really get out much – but, it gave me an opportunity to do some shots of my daughter, who in my devotion to client work, has not gotten as many pictures taken of her as I’d like. She is very precious.

The pictures I got are ultra, ultra low light, so I was practicing holding still, and getting to the bleeding edge of ISO and shutter speed. I somehow managed to stick with ISO 800 and I’m pleased with the result. Straight out of camera!
