Location: Buffalo, NY studio

Aperture: F11

My daughter Charlotte. She lives to jump. She pronounces it drump, which I wanted to note down so that I don't forget it when she learns to say it correctly.

I stopped down to F11 because focusing was hard. One big studio light camera left.

Post-challenge: Hey cool!!! Thanks everybody! My daughter was thrilled to see her picture on the front page (and so was I).

I haven't visited DPC for a while, but seeing this in the weekly update was enough to make me come and have a proper look. No disrespect to the myriad of other talented DPC members, but this has got to be the best shot I've seen in ages. It totally blew me away. You should be proud.

The focus seems, understandably, a little off. But not much. What a fun looking shoot: 9

Don't let my girls see this! Love the height she got, the red is so vibrant and beautiful, and that smile... seals the deal.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/20/2009 12:57:53 AM
HAH! This is FANTASTIC! Definitely my favorite child shot so far. The distance between her and the bed really makes the shot, and I especially love the bright red of her dress against the subtle whites of the background. You may have wanted to go through and cloned out the halo from sharpening, but this is so fun I didn't even notice it at first.

01/20/2009 12:25:17 AM
Awesome idea! I love the splash of colour with the neutral tones. :) 8

How can you not love a well executed shot of a kid having fun. The DOF is excellent here, and your surrounding scene couldn't be better.
