Best shot

I didn’t get many shots last week, so I’m pulling one from a few weeks ago for my best shot monday.  I got a lot of great pictures that night when we were outside.  I am learning that taking good pictures has a lot to do with the lighting.  Here the lighting was great.  It was early evening so the sun was setting behind the house next to us.  We still had good light but it wasn’t direct light.  Yesterday I took pictures for some friends in their house and I really wish the lighting was better.  I got a lot of noise in their pictures, but they still look fairly nice after some processing.  It is much easier to have a photo where you don’t have to do much to them when the lighting is great.
