Flashing a baby

[AdamW]

I've had my 430EX for several months now, but I haven't used it with people as the subject. I spent some time with Lucy, the little girl my daughter is a nanny for. We were in a small room with white walls and a large window, in the early evening. I tried some bouncing off the ceiling, but I didn't like the shadows. These were bounced over my left shoulder at a slight upwards angle, or towards the window. All with the 100 mm macro.

[AdamW]

She sure does, Maverik.

So--what? Nobody else has a comment? Jeez.....

Gosh Adam, need some validation? :D #2 is great. It's by far my favorite expression. For some reason when she's smiling she kind of reminds me of one of Scrooge McDucks nephews. :rolleyes: Maybe I'm just crazy! So do Lucy's parents get awesome free pictures of their daughter?

[AdamW]

Everyone needs validation, Lukas. Don't they? ;) (Please say I'm right!)

I just got off the phone with my daughter. Told her to get me Lucy's parents mailing address. The saw the shots online and loved them, so I'm gonna send them a CD with the full-rez versions and an offer for some free prints if they're interested (although I did see an Epson 2400 when I was over there!)

Yeah, you're right, but I still have to give you a hard time. :D Free prints too, huh? Looks like I'm going to need your daughter to watch my kids too then. That is, when I have them. Maybe in 10 or 20 years...actually, better make it 30. :rolleyes:

My favorites are #2 and #7 (where she's dancing.)

I don't mind the hard time, Lukas, but on a serious note: sometimes the solitary nature of photography gets to me. My wife gets tired of "Hey! Come look at these!" I think we're very lucky to have this online community, where we can share our passion with like-minded folks, often on the other side of the world.

As to the free prints, well sure. I'm not gonna mat & frame 'em, and I can make 3 9 x 6 prints for under 10 bucks. Not bad for letting me experiment on their kid!

I agree Adam. It's nice to ask other people who know what they're doing what they think.

That's fine when you're a baby. When she grows up? Not so much... ;)
