Thinking

[Chiller]

Y'all are probably wondering what a darksider is doing here. :lmao: Im not good at taking photos of people, so this is one of my first attempts. Used natureal light, and a soft focus filter.
This is my 3 year old great nephew Ethan.

Good shot. I like his hand/arm in there to really emphasize the title.

 

[Chiller]

Thanks Woody...I appreciate your comments.
What are you doing here too.:lmao:

 

[woodsac]

I'm a busy guy

Very nice chiller. Might I suggest bringing the levels up on his face a tad? Or is this your way of hanging on to the darkside in this thread?

 

[Chiller]

Thanks wxnut. I will see if I can boost the level a bit. I have not done much with this one. Me and Portraits of "live " people dont get along.........yet. I tried to get a Darkside pic of Ethan, but...this was him thinkin about it.

hey chiller..... i posted in here aswell the other day...... its freaky..... but fun!..... i like what you've done with this one, good shot :thumbup:

 

[anicole]

What a sweet little face! Nice to see you out in the day, Cannuck ... and see ... you're not scary at all! Kiddies still love you!

 

[Chiller]

Thanks so much Arch and anicole. I appreciate your comments.
Arch...yeah.. I was not going to post it here. Felt kinda wierd crossing over. I have been asked to do a few portraits and weddings, and I said nah...not my bag. Guess Im losing $$$ too saying no. I know I would suck at it, so instead of ruining the best day of somebodies life, I will let the pros handle that.

i think this is an awesome shot, chiller... i love the way his is pondering...and i think if you lighten it, it would take away from his pending sadness...

maybe he wanted to go out and play..and couldnt...or maybe a favorite ball of his is out there, and he wants to rescue it, but the adults are not listening to him..??

he is adorable... such a sweet face..and i would love to have his eyelashes...he is gonna break a bunch of girls hearts....

this has to be one of the best protrait shots i have seen of a three year old, they are so hard to get still....

bet alison will love this shot, chiller...(thats who i think of, on having a natural talent with people pictures...!!)

i so wanna just lightly touch his little cheek....

 

[Chiller]

Thank you so much for your kind words April. I have another with the big ol eyelashes, which is kinda neat.
Thanks again.

Chiller, this is a great shot!
Toddlers and children in general are very
hard to catch just acting natural...I find
them even harder to pose. IMO I think the darkness
lends itself well to this shot. I would not
lighten it up too much. But that's just me...

Chiller, I think you did a great job! I love his pose and the lighting and the way he is so not paying any attention to you. I hope you'll take more....yes? maybe? I'll keep an eye out for you round' these parts!

 

[Chiller]

Thank you so much Melcooney, andTaralyn. I really appreciate your comments.
Im hoping to grab more images of Ethan soon. Thanks again.

I would have to say this photo is perfect as is... i also like the dark (not only b/c of the DS in me) but b/c it adds something to the photo like raven says. Nice shot! You are soooo talented!

oh, and you can play in the light for a little while but remember the light will burn you if you stay out too long!
