Don't You Smile, Don't Do It!! - Shirley
by Shirley Haden

Aka: Ugly Christmas Sweaters...so two causes, one effect.

Aka: Funky Strange Shadows...cause-flood lights above.

Tip: do not leave flood lights on while doing a portrait
they leave a very bad effect. I learned this 2 years ago
and had forgotten. They have recessed flood lights that
shine down on the fireplace and when combined with a flash,
well you can see the effect, it's as ugly as the sweaters.

1/60s f/2.8 at 14.0mm iso250 full exif

Good family interaction - how come he understands so early? A good sense of humor must abound.

The last time I saw light like this, it was from helicopters over a crime scene.

A magic family shot, I think people should have to wear christmas sweaters all year round lol.

Perhaps a strange LACK of shadows? I do agree re the sweaters tho! And well done with the cause/effect explanation. TonySx

What a Kodak Moment, you are very lucky to have the effect of a loving family, and to think you one of the causes of this possible get together
