Weekend Getaway

123mm @ ISO 200, f/8.0 & 1/800s

So after I got back home life was pretty hectic and I have been pretty busy ever since (hence the lack of updates) but my parents and sister came out for Labor Day weekend to see me and we had a nice relaxing time.  I brought my camera with me while I was hanging out with them and even though I didn't take many pictures while I was with them, I took my camera out while we were lounging by the pool and I got this great picture of my sister.  I used my telephoto 55-250mm lens so that I could frame her face properly and set the camera to Av (aperture priority) and dialed in f/8.0 so all of her features would be in focus and the background was just the pool so I didn't need a lower aperture to blur the background.  I had it on ISO 200 and, in hindsight, I probably could have had it on 100 but it is what it is and the picture still came out great without noise.  A little bit of adjustment in Lightroom and Photoshop resulted in the great portrait above.  Hope you like it!
