The first they were taken individually and the second was one shot.

[Rhinotherunt]

Wow, five is actually cool!
They were actually easy to work with. I think they had fun too!

Actually they were very well behaved. I don't know how the parents did it.

[FocalPrincess]

You did a great job merging, and it looks like you did a great job directing them too! I enjoy the poses very much. I might add a touch more contrast though, personally. ;)

[JBaz]

very well done, I love it!

Sorry for taking so long to respond...

They were all cute as can be. Honestly merging these was pretty easy. If you are shooting in a rather controlled environment the BG should be very easy to merge together. (Don't change the lighting.) ;) Also, I blended them using masks.

Cool Shots, How old were the girls? Not all the same age? Looks like they were fun to work with. :)

I believe they were 9 to 6. They really lit up when my wife pulled out a box with feather boas! :)

[Lunajen]

Great job...

[nyssaa]

Too cool. I have boys myself and most of my shooting is equine events, so not too many ops for little girls with feather boas. Beautiful work. :) Hmmm, maybe should get my nieces together sometime. Giving me ideas for family photos. :)

You should give it a try! :)

[nyssaa]

I will do so at some point. I dont' do much for indoor shooting , at least not as of yet. Need to study up on lighting and the like. ;) I'm more apt to catch my kids outside playing in the dirt... Well, right now it'd be in the snow! LOL

Darcie, that is beautiful!!!

[nyssaa]

Thank you. That is one of my kids. LOL. I'm not sure where to post horse pics on this forum though. I didn't see any subsections for that. Wildlife, birds, pets.....Any idea where they might fit best on here?

DarcieWildlife or pets... one or the other. ;)

Thank you, noticed you'd been here for a good while and thought you may be a good one to ask. :) And Woo Hoo, finally got 30 posts. Wasn't too bad to do after all and I'm having fun looking at everyone's work. I'm a member of EPNET so mostly been looking at horse and related photos. It's nice to see such a variety here.

DarcieWe are glad to have you (if I can speak for POTN)! The mods are nice and do a great job keeping this forum the way it is. BTW, how you like your BIGMA?

[nyssaa]

I do like it, and absolutely would love to hang onto it. I used it for shooting between two showrings at a dressage and jumper show this fall. It was great for getting me enough distance and still a nice sharp lens although heavier than I expected. I used it on a monopod. Nice for liberty shoots with the horses where a bit more distance is advantageous. Definately a sunny day lens. I find myslef grabbing my 70-200 more often though, bit quicker focus for what I'm doing. I do think though it would be awesome for wildlife shooting. Hubby has been on me to sell it to pay some bills this month and although I really don't want to , it's looking like I may have to. Only a few days left. I'll run a end of the year sale though and hopefully generate enough in sales to avoid selling it. :) If not, you will more than likely see it for sale here, maybe on ebay. I avoided selling it last time around. Just praying I can pull it off again. :)

Darcie I have heard that lens is a love or hate it lens. I think mainly due it being a "sunny day" lens. ;)

[nyssaa]

Yep,

I would love to see it in a 2.8. That would make a world of difference. But, I suppose we can't have everything...although it would be nice. ;)

DarcieHate to see the price tag for 2.8!!!:lol:

[KatiaShermanPhotography]

awesome!! i would do first photo age proportionally...i mean when i first saw this i thought they were all the same age.. so i would try to make them THEIR size comparing to each other..you know what i mean?

Thank you Katie, and yes I understand what you mean. ;) I did them by how tall they were in the top. The bottom makes them all look the same age.
