Just sharing latest pics of my kids.
It's funny. When I take pics of my kids I derive the most satisfaction when using analogue cameras. These were taken with an Olympus XA.

Yeah he's grown and added weight. So have you added more lenses to your arsenal?

No PS effects added. A little USM to compensate for the loss of quality from scanning and slight levels adjustment.
I think the slight vignet is due to the lens. I don't mind though, it adds to the charm. You should see the prints. In hindsight I shouldn't have touched the levels so you can see the original results.

Here's a site with info about the cam used. http://www.diaxa.com/xa/xastart.htm

Framing for portraits with a wide angle can be tricky. Should I have adhered to the rule of thirds or place them in the middle?

hhmmm yea i guess sometimes it can be rather tricky.... but cant go closer? unless that's ur min focusing distance already.... what I'd do is try both and see which one works better ;p
