Catch Mom

Before we took of for Hawaii I had the opportunity to do a baby shoot. The mom knew we were going to be gone and it would be a couple of weeks before I was able to process them. That time is now and I am having such fun working with these images. I shot them on a Canon 5D Mk II with both a EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS lens and the EF 50 f/1.4. Lighting was with a pair of Elinchrom RX600's with a 39" Octa Bank and a 14x35" strip box on a Manfrotto Boom Arm.

Little Gabriel kept his attention on mom while I shot away. We were laughing so much during this sequence as he just drooled away. Click on the image to see how clear the bubbles are.

So here I am working on these images and I saw something that exemplifies the detail this amazing camera can capture. In the first image on the left eye if you look close, you can see the reflection of Gabriel' mom in his iris. Well, just take a look at the image below.

That is really something. Obviously this has had the crop beat out of it as this image is 522x485 or 253KB where as the original image is 5616x3744 or a little over 21MB in size. That makes this 1.2% of the original image and it is still respectable. Ok, I'm done with the geek rant.

So if you couldn't figure out the tittle of the post, you now know.

Take care and I'll cya later... Doug
