POTD: The Baby is On the Way!

It won’t be long now. The baby is on the way.

The full story behind this delivery room photo shoot (lighting, metering, color temperature issues, RAW file conversion) is here.

My workhorse portrait lens is a Canon EF 24-105mm lens, but 24mm just wasn’t wide enough for this photo. I switched lenses to a 17-40mm wide angle zoom. I positioned the camera to catch everyone on the room and  I needed every bit of that 17 mm focal length to get them all in.

Photo Data: Canon 5D Mark III. Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens at 17mm. f/7.1, 1/125 sec., ISO 3200.  RAW file processed for color temperature and luminance noise reduction with Adobe Camera Raw.
