sunday snapshot {critter}

It's not too often lately that Lucy has been out of my arms and I have my camera ready. But, thankfully both happened today.
She has a repertoire of expressions and I caught just a few today...also hard to do.
 These aren't her silly faces, my favorite, but they're still pretty cute.
 This critter was at my parents' house today. Very cool little guy!
I haven't had a chance to look him up, so if anyone knows exactly what he is, please share!

I also haven't played "Sunday Snapshot" for awhile, but hope to try a little harder now that I have a decent subject.

My camera is a Canon Rebel T3i. My lens for these shots was a 50mm 0.45m/1.5ft. My settings for the first photo were: ISO 160, aperture f/5.0 and a shutter speed of 1/80. No editing. As always, I'd love suggestions of what I "could have done" better.

  3. So enjoyed the new pictures of your precious Lucy! Loved seeing her sweet interest and curiosity in the little green caterpillar. Thanks for sharing these special moments.
    Love, Rachel C.

    Maybe a caterpillar of the Polyphemus moth (a silk moth)?

  4. Such cute pictures of your Lucy Goose! I love the one of her pointing. Such a curious little girl, and no doubt very smart, too!

  6. She is hilarious! What a character... those expressions are precious :)

    As for your settings, I'd suggest upping your SS a bit, when photographing kids, especially moving ones, you'll want your SS set at upwards of 250. For this picture you could have just bumped your ISO up and your SS up for the proper exposure, and no blur :) Hope that helps!
