High key - I was playing ... well, we both were

Too much?

Rel - delightful - however I think the 2nd one is much better. The first one doesn't do it for me at all sorry - too wishy washy (pardon the pun

) . I'd like to see some more contrast in the 2nd one too.

very very good.......... shows little, says a lot........ great pix's for framing

Posted: **Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:12 pm**

Works for me Rel.
I like the bubbles in the first and the expression in the second, can you combine them?

rel ..... a ulta fine black boarder with help these images, but very fine......

Posted: **Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:21 pm**

rel,

I think the 2nd is outstanding.

the high key lighting works well for both,

the first needs some eye contact which the second more than makes up for.

Well done

Likewise for me - Love #2 Rel

#2 is great. Would look nice in a dark frame.

These two shots are superb - high keylight photographs of this nature should be printed and framed. If I was to be picky at all I would clone out the taps - they add nothing to the beautiful child.

love the overexposed look
very sophisticated image making Rel!

I actually prefer the first. Crop - not clone - the taps out, and this is a winner.

I prefer the 2nd one, but I agree with Gary, remove the taps and the first is stronger in my book. I guess we can be thankful it was pics of your hubby in the bath

you haven't convinced him to do any more "photography in the nude" after the last outing ?

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 2:49 am**

I like the first one too.

It reminds me of one of my cousin (when he was younger) drinking bath tub water. :lol:

Excellent work Rel. I love them both.

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:11 am**

Rel,
Very nice!

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:18 am**

Rel that second one is fantastic...I am going against the trend and say i like with the taps! :oops:

A silly question on my part but how are these "high key" photos accomplished?

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 9:07 am**

very nice, i like the 2nd one

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 9:09 am**

Very interesting shot's Rel.

For some reason I prefer the first photo the best. :wink:

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 9:32 am**

Rel,

Love both of them.
I think the 1st shot needs to see an outline ( of colour, just slightly ) of the childs back to remove it from the background. I'd leave the taps in.

Cheers,

Wow - honestly didn't expect this much feedback

But thank you so much for all of your comments (and I bet you are all really glad it wasn't Damo and his hairy ass again

)

This bathroom (like a lot of bathrooms) is predominantly white, so the light from a flash just bounces around beautifully !! Daniel was having a ball in the bath, so was happy to have his aunty taking shots. These were taken with my old Tamron 28-300 3.5-6.3 at 28mm, with f7 (first) and f10 for the second, and 1/200 for both. I was using the SB600 with beer cup and cap, pointed at the ceiling and upped to +2 for a really white result. A little tweaking in PS, and that was it.

Hope this made sense?

Hugs again
Rel

Beautiful shots Rel

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 6:19 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 8:01 pm**

First one with the taps cloned out

Posted: **Mon Jun 26, 2006 8:06 pm**
