Please look at this photo very quietly. The beanie babies are sleeping and we don't want to wake them up.

Lighting is what makes a mundane scene into something special. I think that is the case here. Well done Gayle!

Some thinly sliced cucumber maybe? Actually I did realise the highlights were harsh, but by the time I'd come to that realisation, everything was packed up and put away. I wanted it to look like light from a hallway when you open a childs bedroom door during the night to check on them....the light often falls across the sleeping toys.
Thanks for the comments!

I love the comp on this one, it's real fun and cuddly cute! Purely for (*), whilst lighting is well placed and effective, it's just a little harsh on the highlights. Maybe some kind of vegetable based diffuser would help soften it :-)

Very nice job with the lighting Gayle. You are very good at this. I'm taking notes.
Guest 23-Nov-2003 15:14
Good idea, and lightning is valorising the subject(s)as usual. Perhaps the second one from the right risks to wake up if he takes so much light on the face :)

Yup, Gayle just went grocery shopping for more bananas. :) I like the lighting and fits the sleeping beanies theme. I am typing very lightly so I won't wake them up.

Seriously it's a great pic and the lighting gives it a great feeling
