Studio, Portrait, Still Life, Lighting Equipment and Technique Continuous and Strobe Lighting. (The Sun is considered continuous!) Great ideas are really ten a penny! Technique in setting up the subject is, of course, essential. However, the ability to bring out form, texture, tonality and color is where the skill in lighting provides all the keys to engraving one's ideas on the delivered picture.

Default Kids in the Park at Picnic
I was contracted by an Event Company to shoot some events for them. Very easy - actually a day in the park! To make it more interesting for me, I made a project of it and did a portrait series of the kids. I still gave them about 500 images from the three-legged race and other picnic staples. But these made my day. The light was at So. California's worst - harsh, hazy and with the trees - mottled. The pool shots were a bit scary with the water splashing and one guy even thought it would be funny to do a cannonball next to me soaking me and my camera.

Very sharp and very nice Kathy. Looks as if you are reflected in the eyes in both the kids.

Default Thank you
I appreciate the commentary. I have been working really hard on nailing my shots so they need next to nothing in post.
