Baby Ryan Rockwell
May and June, 2010
Born 8:16:30 PM, 15 December 2006, La Jolla, California. 8 pounds, 12.2 ounces (3,975g). 20" (51 cm). The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask. 15 June 2010, Tuesday Ryan asked me to take him in "the Mee" (dad's 8-year-old Mercedes) to go to Legoland, so we did. Ryan's first stop was the Storybook ride. Ryan on the Storybook ride. (Nikon D3, Auto A3 white balance, Standard Picture Control with +2 saturation, Pro (P) mode chose 1/250 at f/8, Auto ISO 200, Tokina AT-X 28-70mm f/2.8 AF at 62mm.) Just before we started, we heard some little girls calling "Ryan, Ryan." I didn't know that we brought any friends with us, so I presumed it was another Ryan for which they called. Nope, it was some of Ryan's little playtime friends who recognized him from the walkway as they were waiting to start the ride. Yay!

When we got off, I suggested we wait for his friends to finish so we could see them. We did, and as soon as the got off,

Daddy did likewise for the car.

19 May 2010, Wednesday Ryan waking. Actually, it was time to get up for his 9AM swim lessons, and Ryan's still on a Hawaii schedule, so we opened the windows, giving daddy some light in which to shoot for a change.

04 May 2010, Tuesday night Ryan watching his "All About Big Red Fire Engines" fire truck (and doo-dah truck) movie. (Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 28mm f/1.8, very dimmed light, lit mostly by a CRT, f/1.8 at 1/8 hand-held, A4 2,500K WB, Standard picture with +2 saturation, highlights and shadow tweaks turned on, Auto ISO 3,200.)

Ryan playing wth the batteries. (Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 50mm f/1.8 II, tungsten light (I turned up the dimmers), f/1.8 to f/2 at 1/40 hand-held, A3 2,500K WB, Standard picture with +2 saturation, shadow tweak turned on, ISO 1,600. I'm impressed that all these five shots are exactly as-shot. Even in this crummy light, the 5D Mark II was able to pull out great colors on the sots not lit by a CRT.) 02 May 2010, Sunday Yay! Pile on Dada as soon as we wake up! (Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 50mm f/2.5 Macro, f/2.8 at 1/40, Auto WB, Standard picture, in green rectangle mode snapped by Mom, Auto ISO 125.)
