How'd you do the lighting for this shot? It'd fabulous! #1939100

Thank you, this was one of the quickest, makeshift photos I've done. I was in a hurry to get a photo into a contest and set this shot up and clicked off 6 shots and was done all in about 7 minutes. A real quickie.

I attached a backdrop to my neighbors fence, had the dad get behind the backdrop and put his hand through a slit in the backdrop, the mom then set the baby in his hand. The lighting was good old sunshine coming from the north at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Not usually an ideal time for shooting, I adjusted the OEV -/+ towards the minus so it wouldn't be as bright. I also did some work in Photoshop with the burn tool so that I could darken some bright spots. #1940063
