A telephoto is on my camera wish list and now I have an even better reason to get one! I think the majority of my problem here is just bad composition. I really need to be aware of the background as well and the fore and mid ground. Practice! Practice! Practice! I don’t have a telephoto lens, but that is a really great tip!

One, you can be farther back from your subject and not being a distraction to them and two, with a short telephoto the back ground will be more out of focus so if there is a trash can in the background you won't be able to tell what it is. Keep Shooting. E I don’t know what lenses you have but if you have a telephoto lens in the 70-210 range using that for your mom shots will give you two advantages.

He's got a tool in his hand, the trash can fits. However, it probably would be a better background if there was a tool box in the background. Maybe those good backgrounds are because somebody erased the unwanted item and inserted something else. Can you do this? I love the pix. He’s got a tool in his hand, the trash can fits.
