Have fewer kids? j/k

No, honesty the only thing I caught was the need of a bit better lighting on you and your wife in the "top shot" (you standing with her)

That's a real fun shot! I'd have to round up most of the kids in the neighborhood to get that many in one shot.

LOL. Too late on the fewer kids thing, but as Bill Cosby told his kids, "I brought you into this world, I'll take you out. I don't care, I can make another dozen who look just like you".

As far as the lighting goes, I had one of my kids hold the reflector off to camera left, but as windy as it was, he just couldn't get the light right.
By the way, to make the shooting of the middle image more interesting, I had only one large mirror, so I had all of my girls holding the mirror with no-one on the right, and then I had my boys hold the mirror with no-one on the left, and then I spliced the 2 images together.

Thanks Ceeboy14, it really was a fun shot. I think my kids make up most of the little rug-rats in my neighbourhood also lol.

Thanks for sharing it with us all

I LOVE that concept; very clever! It would have really paid to bring a couple of lights out though, just to fill in and balance against the sky.

Thanks Tirediron,
Unfortunately, none of my lights are battery powered, they are all plug-ins. But you are 1000% correct, some real extra lighting would have been perfect.

Geeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz do we gotta spell it out for you??? You HAVE to out and buy a couple of Quadra Rangers now so that you can re-do this portrait properly, 'cause your friends on TPF said so, right...

You know... any reason to buy new gear?

Looking at the high-res carefully, I'm really impressed with the attention to detail in the hand-placement, etc. Well done!

I use this $239 solution, and even when my nuclear elinchrom 1200 in in the mix i get more than 500 pops using two lights-------> Paul C. Buff - Vagabond Mini Lithium

LOL. Just a small tiny loan, and I'm sure I can manage it, lol.
