If my last post encouraged budding photographers to learn to "control and manipulate" light, this one encourages them to "follow" it. What I mean is that, sometimes, light needs no control or manipulation, and a good photographer will recognize that moment and take advantage of it.
Consider the two photographs of baby Christian here. The "eyes" have it, no? If these photographs succeed at all they do so on account of the light reflected in those big baby eyes, and I did nothing to modify, manipulate, or enhance that light in any way. To the contrary, I didn't plan on taking a photograph until I noticed how sunlight reflected off a vinyl fence and through the windows was throwing huge highlights into Christian's eyes. A few shutter clicks later and there you have it: like taking candy from a baby ... hah!
So pretty!! The baby and the photograph!! He is going to have brown eyes for sure!!! You got your brown eyed boy!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Is that your little guy? He is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's mine (thanks!). As Jenn said, I've been holding out for a brown eyed boy, and it looks like I finally got one. Now if he'd just use the right (left) hand. ;)
