kids Happy Birthday!

Thoughts and comments welcome...

LOL. What was his wish, tooth, :) Just kidding. Nice shot, cute baby. DDD

This makes me smile. Love it.

What a wonderful photo! I love the expression on the child...and the colorfulness of the photo!

I hope lil' Spencer had a nice birthday! He is looking like your older son. I love his expression on this and great cake/hat.

Thanks for all the feedback, hegot his 2 front teeth for Christmas. This is to go on his invitation, we are sending out next week. His birthday is still a few weeks out!

Jason, this is way too cute for words!! Great shot!

Thanks you Amber...

Really cute, wonderful expression!

How did you manage the lightning? I'm currently also trying to gab some good images of our "Maxima" 4 month. As I don't want to flash her into the eyes and I do not own a realy light system (should be on the shopping list I know) this is the most challange for me.

I have 2 JTL lights that are about 45-60 degrees off center of Spencer. The light on Spencer's left has a silver umbrella and the one on the right has a white umbrella. I was bouncing the light off the umbrellas, I have since been informed it would be better to shot through a white umbrellla. The lights were set at about eye level, almost perfectly horizontal. I had my flash facing backwards at a 45 degree angle, bouncing it off the ceiling... I didn't get my lights that long ago, but love them.

 

I hope this helps. You can find lights used sometimes for a deal. I think I paid only 3something for mine new. With stands and umbrellas.

 

Thanks Jayme for your feedback.

Jason,

How did I miss this one? I was just looking through your portfolio and came across this most adorable shot of your little guy. I missed it on the critique forum somehow.Sooooo Cute! Good job with your new light set up. Hope to see more soon.

Thanks Elaine, I have a few more yet in the series to come:)

This realy helps and, yes I'll have a look to eBay. Can you pass me some details of your JTL Tools? I was already googling a lot the lights but did not come to a final "where to go". Is this light a continous light or flash controled by the camera? I think I would like a continous light.

Thanks for having a ride through my portfolio. BTW: Schnucki II was done with fillflash (Metz 54MZ3)on my Canon 30 - which was working fine. Now on the 10D the fillflash isn't that good - still struggling with it. Took much more time to change from EOS 30 for 10D than I thought.

Quite adorable - I love this series, Jason!

oh, so sweet and adorable little Angel dear Jason :):)

Biliana, this photo also has the quality lose I was talking about earlier. I dodged out all the background on the original, and this hot shows a silhouette all the way around everything, which does not show on the original, or printing.

 

Thanks Kim and Axel for stopping by and commenting:)

 

Axel, sorry it took so long to get back with you I couldn't find your question until after I got another comment on this shot. My memory must be going....
