Toys make the perfect subjects

Practice makes perfect

Today I went with Aidan to his favorite joint:  Playmobil Fun.  That place is toy’s heaven!  I took the time to bring my camera and make the toys my subject of the day.  They don’t move, they have amazing colors, they are the best subject! Well, almost.  As I started taking pictures I had my own rule: I would leave all toys as they were left in the tables, I would not stage them.  I also wanted to get some pictures for the Active Assignment  group in Flickr.  

I do not have macro lenses and I did not use a tripod.   I am learning to love my 55-250 IS lens so I had to crank up the ISO and shoot wide.  Trusted the IS… lots of blurry pictures!  LOL 

I still managed to get some decent shots. My new camera is amazing at getting the right exposure.

Tip: remember to set the white balance to the right light; in this case I used fluorescent setting.
