The Kiss

Uploaded: September 30, 2007

Description

f/4.8, 1/500s, Nikon 18-200mm VRII, Phoenix, 12.43PM.

I noticed this cute baby and his pretty mom at a youth soccer tournament. The chemistry between them struck me so I asked if I could photograph them...you know the rest.

I started by applying a slight over exposure in PS CS2 (CR3). I then used Nik's Color EFX Pro (Briiliance & Warm, Dynamic Skin Softner, and Classical soft focus) plug-in. Finally followed up with Neat Image Noise reduction plug-in to smooth everything out.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/350, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 100, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 65mm, Camera Model: NIKON D2X

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
