I think the manual settings are much better for avoiding the blur. And I generally take photos while they are doing something so they don't know I'm photographing them because if they see the camera they go a bit silly with their superhero poses. But CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!!!! Will e-mail you about the obstetricians :-) Mel xMel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-11974436050983583002013-03-03T21:24:24.908+11:002013-03-03T21:24:24.908+11:00Beeeeeautiful photos Mel.

And I get that feeling of biting off more than I can chew much of the time also... though I think you might have a tad more on your plate with your 5 than I do with my 2.

How...Dear Mel, your children are a beautiful bunch. How do you get them to stand still long enough to get such lovely photos? My little girl is almost 3 and I am damned if I can get her to stand still for any length of time! My husband bought me a Nikon D5000 a while ago so I really need to get off my bum and start using it, if I can get the subject matter to stand in one spot!<br />On another note, I really hope you don't mind me asking. Would it be possible for you to email and let me know your Hobart obstetrician? He sounds fantastic from what you've written about him. We found out today we've having our second baby and I'd prefer to use a private obstetrician this time, rather than midwives only. My email is stella.danielle@gmail.com<br />Hope you're enjoying the lovely Autumn weather in Hobart - my favourite time of the year! However I confess to wishing the days would start to cool down..https://www.blogger.com/profile/03751841392460034024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-55926669648410366732013-03-03T17:43:55.663+11:002013-03-03T17:43:55.663+11:00You are so right (even sans kids), February is def...You are so right (even sans kids), February is definitely tricksy and I totally agree that you know by then whether you've bitten off more than you can chew!
