Before & After — First in 2011

The last time I participated in Pixel Perfect’s Before & After Blog Hop was the day before Harry was born.

It is strange, now, to think about me sitting at home that Thursday night, blogging about photography, totally unaware that several states away a young woman was in labor with a child she would ask us to parent.

But she was and she did and we are.

And these days, he is my primary focus. Of both my lens and my life.

I was looking through some older files for a picture to choose for today’s blog hop and found this one from February.

I assume I passed it by before because it was underexposed*, and because there was a similar shot the frame before that I did end up editing.

(*Ironically so was my last Before & After submission. It’s not a habit, really. I’m usually of guilty of exposing incorrectly in the other direction!)

I’m glad I went back to it:

Shot with a 50mm 1.4 + Canon 5D.
F stop: 2.8 | ISO: 800 | SS: 1/200
Edited in Lightroom 3.
