Proud Grandpa Showin' Off

My grandkids came over to the house Saturday so we could shoot some springtime pictures (their Mom said it was time). Setup was in the living room. I just wanted to share, I think they are the most beautiful little girls in the world (he says with great prejudice!). The chair we used as a prop belonged to the girls' great-great-great-great grandfather. He made it for his wife.

Thank you for looking.

Thank you, Keith & Gale for looking and commenting. It was a fun time taking their images.

 

Seth,

I used a three AB800 setup. Light to picture left was shoot-through umbrella, about 5 feet away and slightly high (main light). Some fill light about 5 feet to my camera right & high, reflected off 60" umbrella for second light. Both lights feathered (not pointed square on). Was trying to create the classic "Rembrandt" lighting, but missed it (more practice). Back light was on a boom, 30 degree grid, pointed straight down from above about 7 feet high. Feather from this overhead light barely acts as a hair light. Subject about 6 feet in front of background.

Thanks for taking time to look. I appreciate it. Been working very hard on my lighting techniques.

 

Thank you, Tony for your kind words.

 

Seneca, Banhup, & Rod.

Thank you for your time & comments. They are indeed my "pride & joy". Grandkids are great!!

Best Wishes,

 

Joshua,
Thank you for taking time to look and comment. I appreciate it.

Scotty, thanks for the compliment. I love my grandkids, and they were in a good mood that day (some days we are not as lucky or cooperative). I guess we are our worst critics sometimes when it comes to our images. It's nice to hear from other folks. What a great forum!

 

Mr. Harris, Paul & Tom:
Thank you all. I appreciate your time and comments.

Best Wishes,
