But thanks to you (Larry) I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone and am getting a little more comfortable with the older group too. Tomorrow I will post the un-edited SOOC shot of the big sister so you can see how much post processing was done --- most of those actions I used are basically levels adjustments that I paint in to what I think looks good. I definitely need to get my exposures better in-camera, but in my defense this set up was for the baby who was really in a different part of the bed and I did not change anything when the sister plopped down there.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421165666804588521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258542890062766921.post-62580904697516738742009-06-16T09:37:45.993-05:002009-06-16T09:37:45.993-05:00I see why you say that you do not like photographi...I see why you say that you do not like photographing people--reason: you do not want to drive the rest of us out-of-business.<br /><br />I really like your setting so that you have shallow depth of field (f/1.8), ample ambient lighting (1/60th of a second) and a little soft fill (SB800 in softbox at its lowest setting 1/128). I wish I knew more about all the actions that you ran on the photo, but I do not and therefore, I cannot tell how much of an effect they have on the photo. I do think your set-up is what really produced such a fine photo.<br /><br />Sister A is a natural. Her pose is great. You got her under contract?Larry J.
