That's so cool, Sharyn! I like the super close-up one, where you can see all the patterns on his feathers.

Wow! I never would've thought to try a shoot in a bathroom. Great thinking outside the box, Angie! It sure doesn't look like a bathroom :) Experimenting with different locations will broaden your options and keep you on the edge of your seat to try new ideas!

Way to go, Angie! I love that you are experimenting with different locations, looking for great light, etc. I think these turned out great. This is definitely a tough age when they're curious and wiggly but not sitting up yet. But you have lots of great angles here and darling expressions, even if they aren't big smiles. Um, and I LOVE the one of her looking down from her "throne" at the sign. Haha! So cute. The lighting in these is fabulous, in my opinion: soft and broad. I think you should be very proud. As for next steps...looks like the window was above her a little bit. One thing to try is to stand right next to the light source (so you would be up high with your camera, next to the window). Then when the subject looks at you, they light is hitting the front of their face instead of their forehead. Also, in some of them you used exposure compensation, which probably wasn't necessary, since the background was more dark than super bright. Does that make sense? Thanks again for posting. Can't wait to see more!
