Love the sleepy second.

All note the change in hair bow color.
Another mystery to ponder.  

Lol Mandrake! That kid was giving us a really hard time. She fell asleep maybe like for 5-10 minutes 2 times out of whole time. We were trying to put her to sleep for several hours and she just wanted to hang out with us, lol

This was my first time photographing a newborn (20 days old). 

Window light.

Nikon D610. 50mm lens

Image 1: ISO320, 1/100, f3.2

Image 2: ISO1250 1/80 f2.8 (I was loosing natural light, so I had to use higher ISO). Flash would not have been an option, because we nearly could put that kid to sleep and she would wake up from everything. Luckily Nikon D610 can handle high ISO pretty well + noice reduction in Lightroom. 

If any of you photograph newborns, please share.

You should post some pictures. This way it's easier to help you, because we can see what are you talking about. You can post them in this forum: http://easy-exposure.com/photo.....he-basics/

The meter doesn't need to be balance when using a flash? I would like to post some more flash issues to see where I went wrong.  It was at a pep rally, so I'm not sure where to post this issue

So slower shutter speed should not be a problem while using flash. I am guessing that the blurriness might be caused by the lens at 38mm. Short lenses can create distortion, especially on the edges/corners of the flame. The solution is to try not to use wide angle and put people on the edge of the frame. So it is not always possible due to space limitation. You could also correct some distortion is post.

Lol, thanks so much for the encouragement!!  I did, however run into some problems, if you would kindly give me your input on the attached  photo. And I know, that is the craziest cake!!  Anyway, the girl on the right was blurry on all 5 shots.  The below screen shot are my settings.

Would you increase shutter first or aperture? I don't think she was moving anymore than anyone else, but my shutter is on the edge of camera shake.  If you were running around a museum, chasing after 4 year olds and then coming into a party room, would you change settings or just stick with one, since the TTL flash with take care of lighting issues?

I like how fears you are to take on the challenge. It looks like a recipe for success! ;)

The flash seems to be working well for you.

TTL stands for Through The Lens metering.
When the flash is fired the camera reads the reflected light through the lens with it's metering system, as it normally would
without using a flash, and sets the camera settings accordingly.

and watch some You Tube on how to use it, where to point it.... It wasn't too bad.  I just kept on TTL (I think that's what it's called, lol - the auto flash mode).  Anyway the painted faces were adorable:

What a brave girl! Just like her grandpa! And this seams like very fun summer camp. You should go and take some photos, Mandrake.

These are the camp photographer's photos, and I wasn't there.
Sam, at age seven, is quite a trooper.  I'm told that she made it to the top.
