2nd Place
On The Ball
by ISO3200

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


other sizes: small medium original auto

Compliments indeed! You and your "camera assistant" did excellently! Definitely a personal favourite! Regards Nico

LOL! I did realize that, iso. I didn't think he'd done all of this. I was just being silly. *grin* ~Lydia

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 ;)

What fun, Iso! It looks like you have some lighting issues here but I like the concept a lot! ~Sharon
