joshua and the ducks

i got asked to help shoot my friend's little boy. hes turning 2 this thursday and wanted to do something casual and fun at the park. they were only available in the afternoon and i knew it was going to be difficult.

i have to say this was one of the most challenging shoot i have done. even though it was broad daylight, it was at 1pm high noon where the sun was directly above. face shadow was hard to deal with. i wore a white button up shirt and a flash pointed at me to bounce.

please C&C and let me know what i should've done to help with dark faces.

I think you did a great job!

Thank you!!

also think you did a good job

like the b&w one

nice and sharp

Thank you tameric!!

I really thought i failed at this shoot. I was disappointed to show them to my friend.

Good shots! The only nit I have is that the ducks in the lake look like dust on the image on my screen. You might try cloning them out and see how it looks, as I had to double check and make sure there was nothing on my screen.
Other than that I think they are spot on!

haha you are right! i will do that, but then it wont be a 'duck' shot! :P

awesome - love the b&w

thank you pramos67!!

love the 3rd and 4th picture!that little boy has a nice sense of style!

@suecassidy: thank you sue! you're from HB so you should know where this park is at
