Superheroes Live Here

(Merged post from another blog.  Originally posted 2/24/14). 

No really.  They do!

Brody asked to wear his Superman unders yesterday.  He happened to also ask to wear his Superman shirt.  So after a potty break, I asked him to show me his Superhero moves.

He was happy to do so.  

I took these pics in my Super unclean office upstairs.  There is excellent light in here with two large windows.  If I had known I would be taking photos in here, I would have picked up the clutter...but it was a really spur of the moment thing, so, don't mind the mess.  This Superhero didn't seem to mind.

I needed a fairly fast shutter speed because all three year old boys move at Superhero speed.  (don't they?).  But I shoot at the widest aperture 99% of the time, so I had to bump my ISO up quite a bit.  I never would have been able to get these clean images with my old camera.  I was always afraid to go higher than ISO 400.  This is probably the biggest reason I upgraded camera bodies...low noise at higher ISO's.  I'm Super pleased with how these turned out.  I did ZERO edited to them, other than sharpening.  I usually at least have to adjust the exposure in post, but I didn't here, and I don't think I've ever had such great white balance and color clarity before.  I didn't even have to use the noise reduction slider in Light Room.  Which is just Super, to probably only me.  Haha.  :)

My cropping and chopping of limbs is Super bad in these.  I was working in a small room and only had my 50mm lens on the whole time.  It's pretty much the only lens I shoot with anymore with my new camera, but this makes me want the 35mm 1.4 a lot...I just needed a tad less crop and I would have been good I think.

Being a Superhero is exhausting work...

But not too exhausting for my 3 year old...

Overall I'm happy with these.  They aren't perfect.  They weren't on my "list" of practice shots to take, but they are sweet photos of my little guy making memories.  Which was one of my main goals for this blog.  :)
Seriously...is he not the cutest little Superhero you've ever seen?

So, as you can see...Superheroes really do live here...
