I'm glad it wasn't too cold to shoot this weekend. Used a Canon 580EX in a 14" Lumodi beauty dish. I was pleased with the results.

Sean,


In the last shot, something about the clear seperation of subject and the far-ground gives me vertigo. I feel like she's about to fall into it.





& nice lighting in all of them.

[asmodai]

Here are a couple of my own:











This is my Canon 20D IR, with my 70-200 2.8 attached. My affection for the subject probably skews how I see it. She's a little lens shy, so I was trying to get her used to having cameras pointed at her all the time. This one came out better than I'd have expected.





On the flip side:





I have no affection for this subject. He was a producer at an event I was asked to shoot. I'm not sure why I'm so fond of this one.


The above was with my 5DII and 85 f/1.2.

Man, babies are so, so, so weird looking. It's a testament to the power of evolution that we find them adorable.


(No offense intended. That in particular is a nice lookin' baby. Far less Winston-Churchilly than most. I was just commenting on babies in general)
