All the pictures were taken on manual mode. I am just getting the hang of it & I love it. It's like talking to your DSLR. But my models are turning me nuts. As you all can see, if one of my kids is still, the other one is either touching her booty or dribbling saliva. Hats off to all the mommies who are not only talented photographers but also takes good & clear focused photographs of their little ones. I think there is definitely something wrong with the camera because looking at those cute models who else could really argue for good photos!
