Portraits..

Mum, making a quilt....

Dad,
making dinner....
Healz,
not sure what he is making!



Photogeeking:
Mum, afternoon sunlight, X held a reflector for me to bring the light onto her face a little more, the quilt she was working on hanging in the background...
Dad - in the kitchen, very wide lens, one flash with a warming gel on it off to camera right, a high flash lighting the kitchen gear set off with the radio trigger things...
Healz, one flash with the warming in front of the screen, another flash with some paper over it to be able to see some of the back of the screen.  Flash is very close to him, meaning he is a good exposure, and the background is dark.

  1. Brilliant photo of your dad. Makes him and the entire kitchen look like... that doctor guy in The Princess Bride or something.

    See you Sunday!

  2. Given how much I like TPB (and the book too btw - which I read in my way back from the US) that is high praise indeed! I was impressed with the fact that the kitchen ends up looking interesting, full but still functional... as opposed to just cluttered... and yes, I was happy with the results!
