The tongue of concentration

Crop of a wider portrait, but couldn't resist the tongue ;-)

This is my little niece, just 6 months old this week.

Lighting info, for those interested:

1 SB26 @ 1/4 power into wall camera left, one 580exII @ 1/4 power into roof, camera right, both triggered by CyberSyncs.

    And she looks like she couldn't care less what flash setup you used!

    Nice portrait. Nice lighting and skin tones. Maybe you could do a series of 'the tongue' and embarrass her at her 18th.

    Excellent portrait mate. Great lighting, really brings those blue eyes out.

    I'm building a good collection of shots of people poking their tongues - quite unintentionally too. ;-)
    She is indeed :)
    Thanks Adam, lighting was simple, but worked well. Nice and soft without having to worry about umbrellas, etc.

    :-P
    Yeah our walls and ceiling are off-white (8 drops of black tint in a drum of white paint, apparently).

    Very cute!! :-) they put the black tint in white paint to stop it going yellow you can't see it but it does work.

    My brother did it (he was a painter at the time), but makes sense.

    What a cutie, she will want to poke her tongue out when she grows and sees this photo you have taken. Just to get her own back. lol
  • David de Groot said:
    Aye, she's a cutie for sure.
    Indeed! :)
    Oh, I posted the one with her in it on FB.
    Quite possibly ;-) And then I'll shoot it again!
