Thread: Photography question, shooting with an SLR here, ?

got my pictures back and they have all these shadows at the bottom! http://taragphotography.shutterfly.com/ (go to recent pictures) is where you can view them, you'll see. Some of the shadows I know can have been avoided by not shooting directly at noon time (it was really sunny), but still two of the pictures that are half decent I feel I did something wrong with. I'm still learning, please help. Thank you! (Three pictures at top of website were by me but with a digital point & shoot & edited)

Tara... those images are awful.

If you must shoot in a high contrast day (harsh light overhead light) use fill flash.

Some of those images have terrible spot lighting on the child which degrades the quality of the image.
