We decided to take some family photos today with the boys, using the tripod and a timer. We also took some of the boys alone and together. But when all was loaded up later I realized all of the family shots were out of focus due to the very shallow depth of field I had […]

You can find a few more on SmugMug. I’m trying out a new gallery service and may switch from Flickr. With the new gallery there are a lot more options for people viewing the photos, and you don’t need to sign up for the site at all.
