This second shot is Joely's raised-eyebrow smile that I LOVE. She does this smile when she's really happy about something or agrees with me. It's often accompanied by an "mmm-hmm" and a happy nod :)

Not this again!!!!!!!!!

Photobucket
LOL! She wasn't upset the whole time, only after she found her ugly orange t-shirt that she wanted back on! More before she found the shirt on flickr.

New Backdrop

Photobucket

Still trying to figure out if I like this new backdrop. Here at f/1.4 it looks great, but in focus it looks more tie-dye, which is NOT good. I am vowing to never EVER buy a cheap, no-name backdrop again. Just not worth it! But here it looks OK - need to try it again at more like f/5 (yesterday's was at f/5 - not liking that as well, but she's pretty close to the back on that one)

It's warming up!

Photobucket

The snow has melted and I really want to master OCF outdoors this summer, so I had to start tonight. A lot of things working against me in this pic - DS super uncooperative (I told him to not stick his tongue out when he jumped, he stuck it out further), super windy so no umbrella (just a bare speedlight), And I have no decent sky shot from my yard, so I had to shoot bottom-up. Also I wasn't thinking and was dragging the shutter too much and got some motion blur. But I'm looking forward to improving with this. I'm ordering some radio triggers soon, since I had more than one instance of my flash not firing because it couldn't 'see' my popup flash.
