Alyssa's Bedtime Story

What child doesn't like to read bedtime stories? I wanted to create the feeling the book was coming to life as she read it. Of course, she can't quite read just yet, but she still enjoys looking at all the pictures. By creative use of off camera flash, and a fast shutter speed, I was able to eliminate most of the ambient light, thus lighting her face only with the flash.

Nikon D80 ,Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6g IF-ED AF-S DX VR
1/400s f/5.0 at 62.0mm iso100 with SB-600 flash off camera full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very effective lighting effect. It emphasized or enhanced more her enthrallment on the story book. V. :)
