I think it's beautiful! How did you do the lighting? #77

Hi Trica, thanks. This was taken with a single table lamp, I moved it around until it was shinning on her face the way I wanted it too. My daughter had just come in the room after her bath and she had her kitten with her. I was glad I had my camera close by. Thanks again. #114

Hi Jill,

I also loved this photo--especially the tones of the towel/robe. I wondered if you used a flash, and if not, if you remembered what your f-stop/shutter speed was?

Good Work!

Hi Julie,
Thanks... I wish I could remember the details of this shot. I might have used the flash that pops up on the camera, but I'm not sure, I try to avoid flash as much as possible, I don't like the shadows or the "flatness" that can happen. I did have the table lamp pretty close to get the lighting I wanted, I just moved it around. It was in a finished basement with some overhead light from the ceiling (tunsten light). The F-stop was probably opened up pretty big like a 4 or 5.6, I like to use that with portraits to focus more on the face. Sorry I don't remember more about the details. Thanks again. #132
