I was able to get some shots today.
I used off camera flash with a shoot thru.

Only one I don't like is #4 and it's because of the very distinct background line. Good job!

I'm loving #2, it might be a tad bright, but I know that's how you like yours.

I meant to ask you this on your babydoll thread, but I got distracted and forgot. I hope you don't take offense to this but... what is the baby wrapped up in, in the second shot? It looks like a crap-ton of gauze or something :lol:

I like #4 the best even with the line! In #2 the baby's skin seems too pale to me as referenced by misstwinklytoes above. I wonder how #3 would look cropped to take some of the dead space on the sides off? Probably a personal preference as I like to fill my photos and I have to watch to make sure I don't crop off something important.

Very nice! I love number 1!

# 1 & 2 are my fav.
They are all great shots.

It is cheese cloth. This was my first time doing this, but it is very popular to do right now, I would have liked it to be tighter and more sung and the baby wrapped up more, like a cocoon, but I was scared to wake him, but then after I moved him for the basket shot, I realized I probably could have flopped him around and he would not wake up...

1,2,4 have good,simple, solid sets. The junction of the pad and the black in shot #3 ruins it for me. Overall, nice lighting, posing, and expression on the baby. Overall, pretty good! Shots #1 and #2 are simple,classic, and adorable--first rate on those.

I really did 2 for black and white...

I don't like #3. I like the other 3. You didn't try and suspend the baby with the cloth like a hammock?

no. lol. I've actually never seen a hammock shot that I really like, so I knew if the greats can't get a comfy hammock shot, I def. can't yet. but they are very popular, however, they don't really hang baby, it just looks like they are.

Robin Usagani · Feb 4, 2011

They do but only inches away and Photoshop lol.

JeffieLove · Feb 4, 2011

where did you get the white fuzziness in #3?? And what is it?? Just a piece of fabric? A small rug type thing??? I need something like that! lol

beautiful exposure on the baby's skin.....what kind of editing did you do?

ababysean · Feb 4, 2011

I actually did very little editing to baby. He was amazingly smooth.
In LR, I played with the luminescence sliders, I watched a webinar with really helped me with skin tones in LR.
The one on the blue blanket, is really basically SOOC, you can see some uneven red/yellow tones in his skin.
