It is quite difficult to ever capture pictures with Eli "looking" at the camera- because his eyes move side to side so much-you'll notice that the majority of pictures he is looking to the side. I do think I'm learning to master how to capture his smiles though. (They are showing up more frequently nowadays- which excites his parents to pieces). To get Eli to smile- I talk rediculously loud, higher pitched, and obnoxious sounding! BUT- he hears me and he definitely reacts and smiles- and it's priceless!!!
Anyways,Throughout the very long process of photographing sweet Eli this morning- I also realized how I wish we had a better camera- one that I can adjust shutter speed and other important things when trying to get better pictures! Someday- We will invest in one of those! :) But, for now, I just take a million- and usually end up deleting the vast majority- but the ones I DO get to turn out are worth every minute spent taking them! I played around with the contrast and lighting with my computers photo software to make them better then the lighting from our house- which helps a ton! I'm so thankful his blue eyes do show up a little with our camera,as long as I don't use any flash!
Here is a selection of the best pics that we got today! There's a lot, but they're great! *enjoy*
