Hands

This is what I did when it was raining outside.

I had my grandma and my niece pose for me.

The idea was to show the 1st and 4th generation females in the family, great granddaughter (3) and great grandmother (72)

AB800
Reflector for fill
EF 85mm f/1.8 (wasnt wide open)
Vignetting
B&W conversion

too bad some of the detail was lost during resizing, but you can see a better version here

Wow, really nice shot! The mood is great and the exposure suits it very well. I really like this!

Thank you, I think it might be wall material

Love it. Can't say I would change anything.

BTW: Flickr only lets you view the image at 650 px wide. Is there something I am missing?

Regardless, I am sure it is tack sharp - just got my 85mm f1.8 yesterday and I am loving it.

Thanks. As for the pic on flickr, it is bigger than 100kb so there is some detail that is retained from the original as apposed to this one. The lens is pretty tack sharp.

great image

Thank you I appreciate it

I love this photo! I also love the fact that the child's nails were not scrubbed and clipped before the picture was taken... No child would have perfectly manicured hands. Makes me miss my own grandma... and makes me want to take a photo like this of my kids and their grandmas.

Thank you Im happy it could touch you in that way. I think sometimes we dont appreciate what our grandparents did for us, directly and indirectly.

This shot was completely spontanious. It was rainy outside, my sister and her kids came over and I quickly set up the light and snapped away. Thank you once again.
