This image is one that I created yesterday for my daughter’s four year old session. She turned four a few days ago, but weather kept us from doing the shoot sooner.We found the purple flowers and she wanted her picture taken by them because purple is her favorite color (as you can tell by the shirt and hairband). This was kind of difficult to shoot because it was in the early afternoon and the sun was very bright. I think it turned out pretty well. I used my 580EXII to add some fill to her face and then opened it up even more in Lightroom 3 to make sure we see her pretty face!

Today we were at our friends house and I noticed these cool little purple flowers starting to pop up. They think that the flowers are the Crocus Flower. I am not really sure, but they are kind of cool looking. this was an all natural light image. The sky was very overcast, and made the lighting great! I am fining that I really enjoy creating images of flowers. Never thought I would like it, but when you get right down on the ground and look at them from an angle you have never seen before, I find the fascinating!
Today I read page 18 in the Canon 40D manual.
