Week 19 - Diffusing Direct Flash

This week's challenge was to diffuse a direct flash. I used a plain white tissue to diffuse my on camera flash. I think this one turned out pretty well ;).

Weekly Challenge 16 - Eye Catchlights

I knew I had to get photos of my son's (either one) eyes with this. They both have gorgeous eyes, however my youngest one is sick so I opted for my older son ;).

 First attempt (above) I liked the idea of him looking through the chair, but guess what? It wasn't so good with the light source!)

  This is the set up I had for the top one... He was great and worked with me taking photos of him...

And this one is just for the record - I"M SO JEALOUS OF HIS EYELASHES!

Photo Challenge - Spotlight

First I have to say that I couldn't find our good flashlight to take these so the one I ended up using was kind of weaksauce... Even though I don't think this is the best work I could have done, I still love the photo!

I came up with this idea while I was putting my son to bed and went with it. My husband was such a sport as well since he's currently miserable with a head cold!

Golden Hour Portrait

 So I wanted to get a portrait of my husband... but he didn't want to be photographed alone... so he grabbed our youngest son. (And I'm totally fine with that, as this shows a huge part of his life right now... being an awesome dad!) 

 And having fun...

Our other son wouldn't hold still long enough to get a good photo of him, but I did get this one (just don't zoom in too much because he's a bit blurry!) This also describes who he is perfectly (as he said - get a picture of me racing!)
