Photo Assignment: A Baptism

(Click on image to enlarge)

I was commissioned to photograph this child's baptism. Extended family came in from out of town for the service, and his parents wanted posed group photos of everyone in their finery in the church garden. However, this candid photo of the child surrounded by his parents and big brother is my favorite.

Because I was shooting in very low light without a flash, I shot at 3200 ISO, and used a monopod to avoid camera shake.

Best part of the picture: The brother, at an age when boys often are sullen and uncommunicative, beaming with pride at his little brother in Christ.
