Uploaded: March 28, 2009

Description

Mom is trying in vein to get the little girl to remove her fingers from her mouth so I could take a photograph but she wanted nothing to do with it. She was shy and did not want her photo taken. All though I never did get the shot I wanted of the little girl, I thought this was pretty cool.Some have asked about my lighting setup so here it is. 50" soft box 90 deg. to the left, 30X24 soft box 30 deg. to the right and a hair light above. The bigger soft box has a cheep studio strobe, the other two have sb800 speed lights.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 2.00, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 45.00 mm, Model: NIKON D70
