Description

Resubmit People 3/19


Hannah turned 3 yesterday. I wanted to do something special for her, so a couple of weeks ago I bought her an Angel costume with wings and a Halo. I also bought some black velvet and used it as a backdrop against my wall.

So, this past Saturday, I did a photo shoot of her. She loved it! She had so much fun with it. I got several good pictures of her. I will be posting saveral over the next few days.

This is one of the very first ones I took ad did not check the ISO before shooting. So, this one has a high ISO.

ISO 1600, 1/1600, 1.6, handheld, continous shooting, all natural light

Very little adjustments done in PSE 5. I did burn the background in one spot and saturated her lips a tiny bit.

Please tell me how I did. This is my first real photo shoot set up with a backdrop. Let me know what you think!!

All feedback, comments, and ADVICE are grealy wanted and appreciated. THANKS for looking!!

Fabulous job! That's exactly how I started too...I've finally aquired my first "pro" backdrop and lighting and have been doing it for over a year now. Your lighting pose and backdrop are perfect in this shot!! #5450217
