PS Mother-in-law fell 2 1/2 weeks ago and fractured her left elbow (you can see a little of the cast extending below her sleeve)
Very nice photo(s), Joel! I just saw a photo online yesterday done like this but I can't remember the website that I saw it! Anyway, very clever way of showing the generations!!
I hope your mother-in-law heals quickly!
Thank goodness! :cool:Quote:

Joel, I love the idea. I did something like this on a Xmas card a couple years ago and just used photoshop to put the picture in the picture. It worked out pretty well, but not as good as this shot. Great work.Quote:

Make sure it doesn't tumble because it does break really easily (personal experience here). Other than that, excellent softbox...especially if you use some form of Sean's extender arm to get the thing to tilt.

Don't do a lot of portraiture, but here's a few I took this weekend. Thankfully my son finally let me shoot him in his "cool" hat.

Love that idea Joel. Might have to suggest something similar to the other half for her family.
Looks like you should be doing lots of portraiture. I love these you have here. Great job :)Quote:

The colour version of the shot of my gf getting ready that I posted in the B&W Thread. When girls take so long to get ready, they can't really complain when we shoot them can they?
you would think that she actually was co-operating, however, that is impossible for a 1.5 year old. that is where the 8 FPS of the 7d comes in handy

Thanks clemmb and Denise!
gk, I love those pink boots, now I'll have to try to find my daughter some!
Ham, great idea and funny anecdote. You and your gf should go out more often if the leads to more portraits.
Btw when are we going to see some landscapes? Didn't you move out of the city?
Out of the city, into the suburbs. I've taken landscapes before, but they're always lacking something so I don't tend to share them.
Taking a little break from editing today and thought I'd share one. This is Ellie the Elephant.

Rocco, This is great work, nothing much else to say.
Bob
Busy week-end!
I really start to like the background; here playing with the white part and it seems I need to iron it a bit.

Hey thanks Bob! Means a lot. I'm just starting to move away from available light on my paying jobs. I've been pleased so far. More importantly, so have my clients.Quote:

I just finished taking an Intro to Digital Photography class at the local community college. This is a portrait that I did for an assignment.. This is my favorite of the session.

Even though I have the big lights now, I still remember that the REALLY big lights still shouldn't be neglected. Large window behind me, camera right. Bounced flash off of the wall camera left.

Great shot Rocco! The best light is free, we just need to figure out how to use it to our advantage -- which I think you found! Cheers!
Can't even tell you how much I'm enjoying the new lights. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

-Rocco
I really like how you lit this Rocco. It draws my attention to the banjo more than the musician though (which is both fine and/or your intent :)). Did you use any different setups? Einsteins are hard to beat. Talk about bang for your buck!
Very nice shot Rocco; superbly lit.
+1, really nice.
Here's a photo of my wife I took today (You can't fully tell in the photo, but she is 30 weeks pregnant):

Congratulations! (Both to a good portrait and, mainly, to what you're about to experience in a couple of months or so.)
Congratulations James! You have some fun times ahead...sleepless nights, but fun times nonetheless.
Stephen
Congrats James. Practice your indoor, low-light photography before the wee one arrives.
Did some senior portraits this weekend in the downtown area of a small town near by.

Love that first one Mark, I thought they only had movie theartres like that in movies. :)
That second last one is a great portrait shot.
I didn't. Just shot the one look. Didn't have very much time with him. For the most part it stayed pretty much like this. Boomed the speedlight to illuminate the hat though.Quote:

Towards the end I did feather the two einsteins behind him for a more edgy look. Kind of sinister. Was pleased with that one too.

Sean, that means a lot coming from you. Thanks.Quote:

Here are a couple from a session I'm editing right now. Taking a quick break. Two light setup, cross light, with my speedlight gelled with red, yellow, and cto in the fireplace to add the fire glow. flames were photoshopped in. Used the large soft box and 64" PLM with diffusion cloth.
