This was a tough shoot for me.

I simply do not know enough about posing people and working with a 3 years old that had a case of RedBull did not make things easier for me lol. He never stood still so I ended up "documenting" the two of them playing so to speak, which actually made it somewhat easier for me since I do not like to tell people how to sit. I rand around a lot and shot from a distance, shooting as many photos a second as the camera allowed, hoping for some open eyes!

The camera, lens, flash and bracket assembly weighed right at 10 lbs. After half an hour or so, I was POOPED!!

Anyway, she liked the pics.

Fixed it so the images would show. I had external links blocked.

brkanand · 8 December 2012, 07:36 AM

All pictures succeed in capturing the moods well! Excellent and a job well done. Congrats!

Ramiks · 8 December 2012, 07:38 AM

SLRdude · 8 December 2012, 07:38 AM

Thank you!

I am very new at this and I am doing pro bono work for now to build a portfolio, courage and confidence.

masterserg · 11 December 2012, 01:57 AM

Gorgeous pictures! I wish I could do half as good! Third to last probably my favorite.

Lisa · 11 December 2012, 07:41 AM

Love that kid's hair!

Enjoyed the photos, Chip. Nothing like mom and child pics.

threemonkeys · 11 December 2012, 07:46 AM

I gave a smile when I saw that 6th pic. Really, really nice.

wingku · 11 December 2012, 01:26 PM

They look fantastic. Great bokeh!

SLRdude · 12 December 2012, 02:18 AM

Thanks guys.
They look a bit magenta here on my office monitor but the seem to be okay on my color calibrated monitor at home.

She asked if I can process in nice soft, warm pastel colors (seems to be popular now) so I had to learn how to do that in Lightroom.

ORIGINAL

I did a couple of versions, not sure which one I like better. The second is almost too soft.

kcmo · 12 December 2012, 02:32 AM

Beautiful shots, Chip!

bridgs · 12 December 2012, 04:58 AM

Wow! Such good work.

dysondiver · 12 December 2012, 05:03 AM

nice pics , ive seen a lot of pros not turn out as nice , the thing at the moment in this part of the world is to just shoot a play session and crop to suit.
see ,venture photography lisburn , they do a lot of that , but i like your results better.

SLRdude · 12 December 2012, 05:27 AM

Thanks guys.

This is all new to me and something I'd like to get into for some extra income.

So far it's all been free work, trying to build a portfolio. This was my third or fourth shoot this year. I am still "shy" and not confident enough with the quality of my work to charge money.

If my name is on it, I want it to be the best I can deliver and something I would be proud to have my name on.

Not there yet, but getting closer and closer!

kutzon · 13 December 2012, 02:20 AM

11618 · 13 December 2012, 09:20 PM

very nice shots, all very good but I like pic three the best, Very Nice. then pic 13 moody faces. well done (I really need to learn how to use a camera)

2careless · 14 December 2012, 06:51 PM

Well done Chip!
Those are all very well captured shots!
Did you only use front filled flash at some shots or there are reflectors?
For the pastel one I would put some vignette to make the edges darker.

No fill flash and no reflectors.
100% natural light, aided by lots of looking around for the spot that had the best lighting.
