Inspired by ATJ and his diffuser topic, I finally had some time to use mine tonight on my little Princess.
Thanks Gary for the nice presents.


ISO 1600 f5.6 1/15 with 24-105mm at 60 mm.

Beautiful! Nice work with the lighting.

Only thing I could suggest would be to remove the speculars from the lip and remove the vignette (you don't need it with this sort of tight crop)

She's lovely and I love the expression you've captured , Like the b/w but possibly the vingetting would work better on a wider shot
Great subject though so keep shooting

Craig,

Very nice, but I'm curious about your settings ....

ISO 1600, 1/15, f/5.6.

Given that you're using flash to capture this image, why ISO 1600, and why 1/15?

Good question Gary, I took lots of photos last night of her, with different ISO settings just to see the difference.
I haven't had the chance to have a good "play" with my 40D.

This Image just looked the best for me out of all of them. I like the softness, have to admit that I have added more grain to it in PS.

Hope that answers your question.

It's a brave person that criticises a 'little princess' shot. I wouldn't touch it- I'd keep it until she's old enough to recognise it and let her be the judge. My bet is she'll love it.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Rohse! She's gorgeous!
