Ok, ok, ok... this little neglected space of the internet is getting a small slice of my time tonight. I am playing along with Stephanie over at Ni Hao Yall and entering my Sunday Snapshot. In general I love taking pictures and working with them in post processing but despite massive improvements in my photoshop knowledge... I could use some help with post processing!
This is my little stinker Ruthie! I was working on taking a couple of photos of her after the other two were tucked in bed. I was shooting at ISO 1600 on my canon D20 which doesn't really handle 800+ ISOs very well. I was using the on camera flash and diffusing/bouncing the light with my hand which gave the photo a very warm feel. This is SOOC with no post processing. During Ruthie's photo-shoot she waited ever so patiently for the perfect chance to grab my iphone and then let out a cackle! I snapped this picture as quickly as I could so that I could capture this little squirt in action. Proof to all her adoring fans that she does have a little mischievous streak :) I love this photo as it gives a little glimpse of her personality behind that beautiful little face! Ruthie, you add a joy and love of life to our family and all 4 of us adore you.
