In Jail!! (400k)

[Sailfish]

I don't quite think my boy is ready for bed yet! What do you think?
Oh boy that 420ex is a dam fine flash. That room was pitch black. I couldn't even see what I was taking the picture of until the AF-assist lit up!

[Skip Souza]

Those are darling.
The equipment really worked well.
All he needs is a tin cup to beat on the bars. :-)

[CyberDyneSystems]

reminds of that line in Back to the Future..

"Uncle Frank? ... get used to the bars"

[PhotosGuy]

Great shots!

[Cleo199]

Those are great! I love them. What a cutie. Wonder what he did wrong though..... :p

[Dante King]

HAHA! What a killer series! Great work. Simply awesome. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen..... Hey I know a great bail bondsman. Can spring your kid in a heartbeat, but that would be defeating the whole purpose of sleepy time eh? Nothing more beautiful than a child asleep. Ahhh I love it when my 2 are sleeping, better when the wife is out too.....then off to the PC and PSCS muhahhahahahahhahaha

OH your PP work is fantastic!

[toddb]

Awesome!

[khiemluu]

Priceless shots! Very cute kid you have there, i think he has a future in modelling ahead of him with suc mastery of his facial expressions ... keke. :lol:

[drisley]

Simply... AMAZING.

[Dimitry]

I'm amazed that the flash can do so much. wow!

[606photo]

Did you do anything to those in photoshop?

[sixshot]

I'd look like that if I were in jail!!!

[Sailfish]

Did you do anything to those in photoshop?

Just the usual levels adjustment. A little USM and a run through Noise Ninja.

[Sailfish]

Thankyou all for your wonderful comments. I got these made up to 6x8 today. And I am going to frame them together as a series. I think it will look fantastic.

I too was amazed at the power of the flash. The room was so dark I had to keep pressing the shutter button half way to get the red AF-assist to keep flashing. The red glow from that was all I had to compose the shot. Makes me wonder how good that 580ex would be. Hmmmmm......

[felix21685]

lol cute kid !

[SurfKahakai]

They look amazing. I've never seen pictures like this with the f/1.8.

hurts my eyes just thinking about all that light. I love the first one. He is a super cute kid.

[exposingmyself]

hurts my eyes just thinking about all that light.
ouch.

[Titus213]

Excellent! Great series. I think I know why your boy can't sleep. It could have something to do with all the flashing lights in the room...

And thank you. I knew it was possible to take a good flash picture. I can't do it but I knew someone could. You've encouraged me to keep trying.

[charlesu]

Excellent!

[tim]

Fantastic photos!

[shortie]

Beautiful – I bet those shots would make a real good basis for a collage or some thing

Were you using the 50mm 1.8

Cheers

Absolutely, the 50mm 1.8 lives on my camera. I can only imagine what the 1.4 is like. But I have to keep dreaming about that one.
But if you are interested, this is what I did with the shots.

Wonderful

[Spirit]

THAT'S FANTASTIC! I have a couple suggestions how you might be able to improve it, but even as it is, I just ADORE it.

(all together now) "AWWWWW!"

[GreenGemini2000]

Those are some really great shots! The lighting is really good too. Did you bounce the flash off of the ceiling? Think that I may need to get one of those flashes. Great work!

[Jal]

The first one is absolutely wonderful!

[busterboy]

The first one is absolutely wonderful!


They are all fantastic, Great catch mate..:D

Yes, bounced up and slightly back over my head. That way it came off the celing and the top of the wall. I was pretty close to him, so I didn't want all the light comming from directly above. Worked very well. I basically only ever bounce the flash. I think I used it direct once or twice, and didn't like the result.

Glad to see that he was framed. :lol:

[jopfin]

Made my day, thanks. BTW he will get you for this, popping a flash at him in total darkness, he'll remember it, and one day he will remind you of it. Thanks for sharing, you have an adorable child. You should be very proud............Joe

[Pontio]

Priceless! Thanks for sharing.

[DeltaWebb]

Those are INCREDIBLE!!! Great captures and they turned out fantastic in the frame.

I've been deciding what to do with the budget I was given for Father's Day and it's a daunting task since I have just started in photography. I was looking at flashes tonight and considering the 420 EX Speedlite and you just solidified my descision to get it!!! Thanks for the help. I think I'm going to work in the EF 50mm F1.8 II also.

Its been better than I could have imagined. You won't be dissapointed. I plan to one day soon get the 580ex, and then use the 420 as a slave. But for now it is working a treat.

[rlrouse]

Great shots...Children make the best subjects!

[grooveandmelody]

Oh man~ That's just so adorable. The three pictures could tell a story. Great pictures!
