Pixel Darkroom Photography

Today I had the chance to spend some time with some friends and make some images for them as a family. This is one of them that I really liked. I’ll probably spread some of the others throughout the website, under people, or somewhere. I’m also going to work on updating the entire website (I hope) and that will take some time. I’ll see if things work out. These guys have been up here visiting for some time and they’re leaving in a few days. We had lots of fun, playing Settlers together and hanging out until late hours of the day/early morning. We’ll definitely miss them.

I had good light so I took it. This is all natural light portrait with little modification in post production. The fill light coming from below is a big strong patch of sun bouncing off the ground. You have to have your eyes open for this natural kind of fill light. It usually happens in places with somewhat glossy floors (hardwood, tiles, etc.) but it can happen anywhere if it’s indoor and the sun hits the ground directly. Just keep your subject in the shade and have them be able to “see” the patch of sun. Then you have all natural fill light from below which gives a different look to their face.

Here is my little angel again. I know she looks very mature in this one, because I caught her a bit upset. She wanted to play with the puzzle and I said we’ll do that in a moment, but first I want to take her picture. Today she made the Alphabet puzzle all by herself. We’re still working on the “l n n o p” part. She is only 3.

I’m getting ready to bid farewell to the 365 project. It might be the last one you see of me here although there was still another image I wanted to create where I might need myself again as a subject. Getting close to the finish line. Thanks for following and to some of you for your encouragements. ‘Till tomorrow.
