My Oldest Princess

[Mad Aussie]

My youngest daughter left for her new home and new life in another State today and last week I took some portraits of her.

Late this afternoon we had dreary skies and not much happening so I managed to get my oldest daughter outside in the nice even light and decided to play around with a few simple shots before trying out some different lighting.

Here's a couple of the results I got. Both photos are straight out of the camera. No post processing apart from the signature.





Some photos I used my 580EX ll flash and some I used my mountain bike lights which are 3x 3watt Super Bright LED's lights that help me ride through dark trails at speed. They are bright. They fry owls!

Until last week I'd barely played with Portraits seriously apart from one or two of my wife over a year ago so I'm quite pleased with these. But any critique (positive or negative or educational) is always welcome.

I uploaded several more if these are of interest to anyone. You can see both my princesses here ... http://picasaweb.google.com/madaussi...eat=directlink

I go with her choice - the third pic is by far the best of the three, imho...
