wilfredo Posted September 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, Due to time constraints I'm not posting as much as I used to but if I shoot something I think worthwhile, I will post it. This shot was a challenge because of the bright background against dark the skin, not to mention a restless child. It was done at a beach hence the sandy face. Normally I don't like to see my reflection in the eyes of my subjects, but in this case, I like it. I took this shot with my M8 and 50mm Hexanon.

stuny Posted September 8, 2008 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2008 Wilfredo - I've missed seeing your posts and am glad that the reason is just schedule and not health issues. But I do miss seeing your photos and comments. This image is superb in framing, subject, contrast, tonal range, detail and moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted September 8, 2008 Thank you all. Life has been busy in other arenas with little time left over for photography. I got this shot while doing a photo shoot for one of the groups I work with called: Orange County for Darfur. How you can help - Orange County for Darfur | Living Ubuntu Last year we did a beach photo with people laying on the sand spelling the word: "ENOUGH !" . This year we did the same thing but spelling the words: "END GENOCIDE NOW!". I'm doing the post-processing for that shot and I hope to be finished with it today. It involves lots of artistic post-processing. The boy in this shot is named Alijah, his grandma is actively involved with OC for Darfur. I did some shots of him about a year ago, and I think I may have posted some on this forum. Ben: I probably won't be back on the East Coast until next year. Next time I travel, I'll let you know.
