~~Sleeping Angel~~
Uploaded: July 29, 2006
Taken from a recent session yesterday.
I layed the baby on their kitchen table that was in front of their huge window. I adjusted my SS to have the baby dark & blow out the highlights of the window. The ONLY thing done to this image is sharpen & dodged out the window ledge. Oh yea & turned b&w using calculations;) EVERYTHING done with natural light.
Used my 50mm 1.8 lens, 1/300sec, F3.2, manual mode.
