Mmmm, Strawberries!

Uploaded: June 11, 2005

Description

Portrait of my 7 month old niece taken June 10 in my house. I used only natural light from a window, no flash or artificial lighting. My camera was on the portrait setting, so I don't know shutter speed or aperture. Edited with Paint Shop Pro 6, I lightened the photo, despeckled, used unsharp mask, and cropped.

This is adorable, I love the pink background you used, it compliments her outfit so well, Cute, cute :) #1464446

Thanks so much Kerby and Lynn! My sister-in-law was worried the strawberry juice would stain the pink background, she wanted to use the black one instead. I said these photos would be worth a ruined background, the black wouldn't look nearly as well. The juice came off, though, you can't even tell, and my niece smeared that juice all over before we were finished! #1464545

Thanks Amanda! This was taken when I lived in Ohio, we moved to Idaho a few years ago, and I really miss the light I got in my old living room. The window wasn't especially big, but it was facing the right way and let in a lot of natural light. #5372782
