Problems/Solutions

It's always a problem getting the boys to look away from the camera and at the backdrop. To them, it probably makes as much sense as us walking over and staring at a wall.

Thankfully, the backdrop isn't much taller than the kitchen counters, and I can easily hold my hand over the top from the back, while still staying to the side and out of the frame.

Hmm... that probably made no sense what-so-ever, did it?

Suffice it to say, it wasn't easy but I managed to get something.

Perhaps I need to reinstate the Missing Skill of the Day.

Proud as a Peacock

Photography Assignment

Scavenge Challenge October 2012 - "21. Now create an image with a soft, feminine look which goes well with #20 as a pair."

(#20 is the shot of Zachary in a top hat, above, which was the "masculine" shot of the pair.)

The softer side of Henry, compete with feathers, lace, and a pink pillow (for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!)

And yes, the headdress was crafted special purpose with a spray of peacock feathers taped to a headband, which already sported the gaudy faux stone, and then wrapped in ribbon to hide the tape.

I work solo with the boys, which usually isn't a problem since I use a tripod and remote control.

BUT

Today I really wished I had someone to tell me if those darned feathers were straight and in frame, as I was standing in front of Henry and it was really hard for me to tell.

After more shots than I care to admit to, I finally got a few that...

That's Henry's, "I'm calling my agent/lawyer" look.

Oh dear.
