From the Main Street Confectionary. Inspired by Scott Dommin to take more portraits, I asked her if I could take her picture. [attachments posted prior to 4/27/2010 have been deleted by admin. be sure to link images to make sure they don't get removed]
Very good start Craig. ; I would crop her closer so it was just her face with the cotton candy being in the lower left corner....but that's just me.
What a captivating smile she has. ; I agree with Roger, since the surrounding environment doesn't say much, I'd crop it as he suggested. ; BTW, bounce that flash. ;
better? [attachments posted prior to 4/27/2010 have been deleted by admin. be sure to link images to make sure they don't get removed]
Not sure if the flash-to-ceiling distance / subject to focal plane is in a proper ratio for bouncing off the ceiling....pull out card bounce?
plus I was shooting in between the plexiglass panels. and the sb-400 doesnt have enough oomph to bounce in a room that big. and it doesnt swivel sideways

Lovely shot - I'm looking at the final version, with the closer crop and the hot spot removed. ; Very nice job! ; With all those light colors, that's a harder one to meter without having some blown out areas, so I'd say it's pretty well controlled especially considering no bounce or diffuser.
unofficial concierge of bay lake towers, ceo of bendele towers, graphic artist, drummer at ak, now portrait photographer, you be a true rennaissance man, what's next?? and i forgot to add, nice job on the final version, that's a portrait, not a snapshot
That was a killer smile, a nice closed up picture Craig. She is like an artist with a cotton candy in her hand. ;D You got a nice portrait. ;
