This is the most recent (10 minutes ago) photo of Sonia, who will be 3 years old in August. If you are a photographer, and a strobist, you will know what I'm talking about next. If not, jump to the end :). So back to the strobist - this is one of the entries I will submit (haven't checked if I can submit more than one) as the boot-camp II assignment. I used two SB900 flashes, both zoomed out to 200mm: one with a plastic red filter bounced in the background, and one through an umbrella. I used a 20x30 piece of foam board as a reflector, and asked Sonia to lean on it, therefore making the photo a bit more interesting.

This is the original version, with the exception of the face, where I cleaned a few spots with the healing brush and lifted her lips slightly using the liquify tool.

Lastly, I will be going on a week long trip to Ohio and Florida, and I doubt I will have time to post anything before Monday. I am hoping to come with lots of refreshing photos (refreshing for those of us who consider the ocean a luxury), so check back at the beginning of next week.
