Sabine was playing around in her room, but it was very dark.  We have those super knock-out-light removing blinds in there in case she naps.  Rather than open the blinds up the entire way and let the sun bathe the room, I wanted to eek open a tiny bit of light into the room.  Taking a stylistic cue from David Duchemin or Joe McNally, I figured, &#8220;Hey.. place baby by beam of light.. that should work..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The thing you have to think about here is this.  You probably wouldnt want to stare at the sun.. so neither will a small child.  Instead of -facing- her to the sun, I put her back to it to get some around the hair.  because I was metering for her head, I was guaranteed to throw the rest of the room near dark.  <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The only problem I was faced with was the fact that her face was really dark.  As she was throwing her books around the room, I thought &#8220;Hey.. Chicka Chicka ABC has white background for its pages (and some cool alphabet stories of climbing a coconut tree).  What if I gave it to her to play and the book serves as a bounce?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I gave her the book, and as she opened it to check it out, there was the fill light I needed.  The smile came from the fact that she didnt really expect the book to shine back to her.  Not too much time here..  rip a couple of shots.. and she&#8217;s done.  The one above was the keeper for me.   I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pixelatedimage.com\" target=\"_blank\">David Duchemin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joemcnally.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Joe McNally<\/a> lately so the entire &#8220;Light one part of it&#8221; or making mood lighting is really at the forefront of my mind, framing a lot of the pictures im working on.<\/p>\n<p>Below are a couple of other shots from that shoot.. only 20 shot.. 3 keepers..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aboutrc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-109\" title=\"sabineread-2\" src=\"http:\/\/aboutrc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-2.jpg\" alt=\"sabineread-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aboutrc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-110\" title=\"sabineread-3\" src=\"http:\/\/aboutrc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-3.jpg\" alt=\"sabineread-3\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sabineread-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We were hanging out Thanksgiving day getting everything ready for the feast.
