practice.

as you maybe know, i don't ever use flash for my photography..

Well, this last weekend I was part of a boutique &  had my own booth in Richfield, where I had thought about doing indoor portraits of kids.  It was in a basement, so I would have no natural window light..yikes! I found a couple of people who were nice enough to let me borrow their studio lights (thanks guys!) , but was told that they take awhile to master. I decided against that whole thing and I'm glad. Flash photography is not my thing, but someday I'd like to learn. I've seen awesome things done with studio lights. I would definitely need to take a class or have a few months to figure it out myself (since that's what i've done with everything else so far!), if i want to do it the right way and have it look decent.  I wish I could afford those dang classes! they'd really come in handy. oh well, someday!

ANY-WAY.

i thought maybe i could make it work with my off-camera flash, and decided to practice...yeah.. i'm not so good with flash! but i do love this stinky child & though i am quite aware that these look like poop, i thought these were worth sharing. mainly for grandmother purposes, because dang, he sure is a stud!

What is great is that you tried it and decided after! Its always worth a try... its not my thing either. Though it is fun to make your own sunlight and create everything from scratch, I would much rather use natural light. these pics really are cute though! Not bad at all for your in camera flash. There aren't too many bad shadows and he is just one cute stud!

Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
