this image is pretty much as is, with no real software manipulation, I guess its the e20 Olympus and some cheap head light from jessops, and the frame in psp, took all of about 10 seconds (the frame that is).
Or it might be bleached from the sun as we lived in Mallorca for two years and she is only 4, she is my princess.
thank you for your kind words 
I bet you're so proud of her.
Not sure if I do yet brian, as I have just started with this photography thing, One thing I will say is, if I keep getting nice comments from people such as yourself and all the people that have said nice things about my work, I will keep going and hopefully it will get better, there are so many inspirational portfolios on here to keep me motivated, many thanks everyone
So many thanks to all have you who have made comments on this photo, you really are too kind, I just wish I had my camera set on a higher setting as the original file size is only about 200k. I was just playing with the setup, you know test shots and out come this expression, so lucky shot more than skill, I never bought her school photo, so doubly lucky I guess.
Isnt this site great and that Ed what a nice bloke (creep creep) he he
Hi Anne, what can I say, I think the word lucky comes to mind, but being lucky is something I have had to grow up with and I am not joking, but it works for me, I must of been a nice person in a former life, Photo of the week would have been nice (ha ha) but thats pushing my luck a bit too far. and where is your latest photo, I have looked.
Coming up Tony but I wouldn't hold your breath, my camera conked out at the weekend (talking about luck ...I could do with some of yours) so I'm having to dig through some old stuff. My scanner isn't up to much so it will probably be another flower, just as I was going to do something different as well.
I know what you mean, my portfolio is getting filled with family photos, bar my plum soup and now a picture of the sky from my back garden (how boring)I wandered about the house this morning taking pictures of plants and flowers and all sorts of rubish, think I need some inspiration, maybe we should set each other a chalenge, something diferent than we normally do, IE: no people for me and no flowers for you, what do you think, up for the chalenge?
whoops I forgot your camera conked out over the weekend, did it run out of petrol. sorry I should'nt joke, whats wrong with it? is it an easy fix or is it time to think about a start of the art pro slr that you would need to remortgage for, hope its alright, this sites needs needs you Anne
Hey Dewey you never clicked, thanks for the congratulations, OK Dewey the secrets out, Ed is my brother, I think maybe I have peaked to early, look at the crap I put up today, and that was the third image I posted today, you should have seen the other two.oh yeah Ed not really my bro I was kidding about that bit, I think its because last week I said that Ed did not like portraits as there was not any in the EC section, and then like magic he picked two of mine, hey I am not complaining. All joking apart it does make you try to raise your standard on here which is not easy with so many brilliant photo's everyday.
Govmint job, as little as possible......
All kidding aside, I'm a senior storekeeper at our county school district warehouse. We have a 142,000 sq. ft. facility. I assist with scheduling deliveries to the 70 public schools in our county and for deliveries to the warehouse. I insure product received is stowed in its assigned location, receiving reports are filled out accurately, and forward paperwork to data clerks so product can be added to warehouse inventory. The products we carry are typical office/classroom supplies, custodial cleaning supplies, maintenance supplies(hardware, office machine repair parts, locksmith parts, electrical and heating/ventilation parts, etc) cafeteria supplies, canned food, dry food and frozen food. (The freezer is 10,000 sq.ft. and kept at -16 f) We also handle various commodities that are ordered by the schools. Today is actually quieter than normal as I usually only get to upload at the 9 o'clock break, make comments during lunch and 2 o'clock break. Tomorrow will probably be a nightmare.......
That's a great idea Tony ...when I get my camera back, shop had to send it to Canon, electrical problem.
It would make a good forum topic, setting each other challenges, in fact it's a really good idea, do you think we should put it to everyone?
Dewey, when do you find time to take any pictures?
The reason I like it as it makes you put that bit of extra effort into your work, as you will want to produce a reasonable effort, I think that it would give us the chance to learn from each other how we went about setting up the shot etc, this is all very scary for me, but hey it does you good to be scared now and again, and of course no reason why anyone else can accept the challenge, its a bit of fun with a creative edge, we maybe over a period of time could do say a still life, a portrait, a landscape, or whatever people suggest. A forum would be a good place to get this idea off the ground, I would like to wait until you have your camera back before we start the forum a you have so much enthusiasm. and yeah Dewey where do you find the time to take picures and can you take one of all the items at work, (that will keep him busy)
All the things in inventory by 2009!?! I don't think so!(There's over 3000 items just in the office and custodial supplies!!!)
I knew today was going to be a nightmare....
I'll get a couple of the facility and I'll have to see about catching the storekeepers unawares.......
My problem isn't finding time to take photos, it's finding time to sleep........
Ok Dewey I too think thats a bit of a tall order I really dont know where Anne got that silly idea from, dont worry if your not done by 2010, lets face it you can only post one photo a day on here anyway. so lets just take it one day at a time and see how we go, expect the first one tomorrow, Good luck Dewey you are a brave man for taking on this chalenge, but we are proud on you on here so dont let the side down. very best of luck
Hi Thomas, take one black sheet point a slave unit at it with a green filter on it at the sheet about two feet from the floor, then I took a head unit with brolly stood it next to me,. plugged in a sync leadabout two foot higher than her about ten feet away from her, and click, I was only trying the lights on the background and asked her to stand there while i did, and out came this pic, just luck really.
thanks for the comment
Thank you DP for your kind words, I oringally took this, as the school photo that came back left more than a little to be desired and it was a good chance to test out the lights.just wish I had the camera set to a higher res. oh well, smoe you win some you lose, I may post some more of this session as she has a few faces.
Thank you Tony . Kind of you to spare the time to wade through my work .!! They have only recently introduced the click ) I think it's a great idea . Glad you like my work , when no one speaks on it you begin to doubt yourself. NOW it is a wonderful sunny morning so I have loads of tidying up to do in the garden .
I often look at peoples profiles who have made comments as I feel that if there are producing top class work like yourself, then you know what you are talking about, I often get comments from people whose own work could take some of their own advice. your catalogue of work is simply stunning, you must be very proud.
I just love her expression, she has such an expressive face which you have captured perfectly. The colour is superb picking up the beautiful colour of her hair. The red cardigan and touch of red in her hair completes the portrait.
Well done.
Louise
P.S Congrats on the award, well deserved.
