Didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped, but I doubt I'll get a chance to reshoot so in its goes as this topic is just too good to resist. And I notice that I seriously need to lose weight
Well I *had* set everything up - lights, camera balanced on bag, manually focused and framed. All he had to do was click the shutter as briefed. He was a bit like a voice activated remote control really. Without something to balance it on, he can hardly lift the hefty 1d to his eye!
May I borrow your seven-year-old when you're through? He/she takes much better photos than I do... *heavy sigh* ~Lydia

Glad you made it to the party. It's always a pleasure to see that you found time to enter the challenges. Oh, yes the lighting works well here. We often don't realize what a fill flash can do to help a picture.
Yeah, there's just one little vivitar 285 left of camera lighting the centre (ball area). I would have liked to have lit each version of me by moving the flash around, but my 7 year old was taking the pictures and he only has so much patience ;)
