When the big flash's battery goes dead, you gotta improvise!
This was lit with a Metz 54 on camera with a LightSphere 2 for diffusion, and an old Quantarray flash gun optically triggered above the backdrop. There were compact flourescent lights in the ceiling also...auto WB, a slight overall RAW brightness and USM sharpening is all that was done.

| Beautiful family and wonderful photograph. Nice bright lighting to match the happiness portrayed. May just be a smidgeon overexposed, imo, and the glare in your son's glasses a bit distracting (different head angle?). |

Not my son. I am taking pet portraits, and well, I don't care how many heads are in teh pic when I hit the button.
Dark and moody shots are artistic, but not what the avcerage joe is paying for.
Yeah..the glasses. Open to suggestions on how to fix that in PP!

Here's my take:
I just used GIMP (www.gimp.org -- I'm Linux-based) to clone bits of the other eye while viewing with 400% enlargement.

Rather than fix it in PP next time, just have the subject tilt their head ever so slightly forward to remove any of the glare from lights.

| I love the GIMP. Glad to see another person using it. Nice job taking the glare away. |

Nordlys - nice job. I did the same, but maybe not as good as yours.
Meuferland -I will try and remember that. Experience will help. This day I did 10 clients, 125 or so shots. Unfortunately my used lumedyne's battery lasted only 60 or so...takes a 12v batt, so i will have to see what i can scrounge up as a new one is not in my budget. It's tought when mom is chimping..i discourage it, but she was trying to duplicate a shot someone else took a year ago, and she was hard to please. I hope this shot is what she wanted.
The way people behave, well, some of them, makes me want to go back to JCPenney and be the worst nightmare they ever saw, and see how they handle it!
Dogs are easy, kids too. Adults are next hardest, and cats - the worst!
