2014 Week 46 Day 7 – I have set up a black background and off camera flash reflected onto the subject, to get some shots I might use in Christmas cards and perhaps also for printing.

The boys didn’t really want to oblige in this ‘arty’ set -up, but I persuaded them and I really like the results. Alexei was then happy to pose, 

and then practise whilst Willow appeared sombre, but I love her hair curls against the background. Before, at school, I had been asked to get a picture of a little boy for a friend, so I took some test shots first to fine tune my settings, with willing subjects!
