A mother and her son

markubig · 21st of March 2005 (Mon)

I took this shot yesterday at a birthday party. It's of a friend of mine and her 6-month-old son, Charles Xavier (yep, that's his name for all you X-Men fans). I only wish that I had a wider lens at the time because it really bothers me that I cut off the top of his head. Nonetheless, I think it's such a genuine picture. If i had backed up, I might have missed the opportunity.

Here is a priceless shot of Charlie.

Both were taken with my Drebel, Tamron 28-75, 550ex w/ LightsphereII. Please feel free to comment. I hope you enjoy them.

They are great pictures. Kids seem to make great subjects.

Thank you . . . seems kids are the only "willing" subjects for me. They certainly are my best chance for subjects, since most of my family and friends have them or have them on the way . . . need some of my own

I'll tell you . . . the LSII looks funny, but it's giving me awesome results. . .

We discussed it on this thread have a look:

These pictures were taken in the vertical position with the LSII attached to my 550ex. So far, I am seeing why Gary Fong says that it could eliminate the need for a flash bracket. . . . however, subjects in front of a wall taken in vertical position will cast a shadow on the right side (light coming from left)

I've only had it for a few days . . . I'll have to get more experience with it to give a definitive answer, but so far, it looks great!!!
