Little Dancing Princess *

This Christmas was filled with tons of the "12 Dancing Princesses" -- gotta love Barbie! :)



We'll be settling down later this evening to watch the movie, but for now our girls dressed up in the princess clothes, put on wigs & crowns, & had a good dance themselves.

Thanks for the "how it was done" comments. Appreciated! I guess it was the PBase "glitch" of not picking up the flash correctly from the exid data that confused me: I thought there had to be a flash involved, but PBase did not confirm this. IN any case, it is very nicely done and something I can definitely bear in mind for future reference. Thanks again. Regards ~jnconradie

Thanks, Bruce & jnconradie! I was well pleased with this too. This was actually taken specifically for this theme -- I don't normally try to have such a large portion of the shot blown!! :)

jnconradie, I took this pic in front of a west facing window in the late afternoon. The sun was shining right behind my daughter's head (upper right side of the shot). I overexposed by 2 full stops & used a fill flash. I see that the exif info shows no flash on pbase. It does report this info correct in PS CS2, so there must be something wrong with how pbase is reading the info. I used my LightSphere to defuse the flash. Little tweaking with levels & contrast in PS.

My other daughter had on a purple wig, but I liked the way that the orange hair turned gold/yellow/white in the light of the sun. -- Jeannie

Great lighting... background way blown, but the person perfect. Very impressive. I would not mind hearing from you how you did that! Please? :-) Compliments. ~jnconradie
