My Youngest Brother

It has been a while since I posted. With everything going on right now, I barely even have time to sleep :) Anyways, here is a shot I took not too long ago of my youngest brother. This shot reminds me of a kid's clothing advertisement of some sort. Of the 30 shots I took of my younger brother, I like this one the most. Sometimes when taking photographs, you have to capture the object or person at different angles. Also, you don't always have to center the object or person. For example, in this picture, I aligned my brother more towards the right of the picture. I also tilted the camera a little bit to somewhat give a playful perspective. I did not use any flash in this picture. I feel that flash tends to ruin the true colors of the photograph. The only drawback with not using flash is that you'll have to hold your hands very steady. I would recommend using a tripod whenever possible. If you're in a well lit area, you really wouldn't have to use a tripod. If you're taking night shots or if you're in an area that's not well lit, then a tripod would probably be best. The lens I used for this photograph was the 50mm (my favorite lens, the nifty fifty!).
