    Re: December competition - The Result.

    Wow, thank you everyone!

    I rarely win anything and was up against some tough competition - as usual.

    The 'model' (my granddaughter) and her Mum are on their way to visit as I type, I'm sure they'll be thrilled when I tell them.

    I like this one for the eye contact and happy smile.

    Thanks again,
    Dave

    Well done Dave, I am sure your girls will be thrilled and very proud.

    Is this the first time a portrait has won a monthly comp?

    Dave should be disqualified. That's down right cheating posting a shot of that cute child.

    Congrats to all. As always some excellent images submitted.

    Yeah, sorry Dan,

    I nearly tried again in January, but then decided I'd be 'found out'

    I'll just post "the 2nd birthday shoot" as a separate thread.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Regardless of how cute it's a darn fine image. Nicely done.

    Thanks Dan,

    After 'trying too hard'* on previous shoots, in the last couple (this and a subsequent) have been kept simple; just two flash into white reflective umbrellas lighting both subject and white seamless (paper roll) background.

    * Last year I was lighting the background from either in front or behind and neither option, in the limited space, was really successful.

    As promised above, for those interested, I'll document the latest shoot soon (lighting set up exactly same as above).

    Cheers,
    Dave
