So I'm new to digital and know nothing about post. I tried to nail the exposure in the camera, so all I did was tweak them a bit in the nikon software. I know they are inconsistent as far as having the same brightness. I was just playing around trying to figure the software out. I shot these with a dark blanket behind the boys and a reading light from the side. The big guy was a bit more cooperative than the little guy.

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks! Ghetto studio FTW! I just got the camera and I am not used to shooting with anything other than manual cameras and a handheld meter. Hopefully if I just keep screwing around, I'll get the hang of the digital specific stuff...

Thank you. I had WB set to incandescent, and I shot on manual, f5 1/30 iso400 focal length 65mm ish for most of the ones I took.

I like the sharp contrast of light. Simple is better in these photos. The busier ones are distracting but most are very nice. Good job!
