Natural Light

Can't believe it's been more than a season since the last post... when we finally gotta say goodbye to the super long & cold winter, it's about the time to write & shoot again :)

Now with more daylight hours, I took the priviledge of capturing some pictures of the monkies after dinner this evening, under natural light. It's already past 7:30pm and the monkies were running happily from one bedroom to another and along the hallway. I was at one end of the hallway watching Little Monkie #3 walking towards me with supports (yap... time flies and she's almost 1). When she past by my mom's room, she was nicely lit.

How could I have missed this?! I quickly got my camera, did a test shot and grabbed her back to the other end. Let her come to me again. And this is what I've got.


Light source from the left, it got through the hallway and bounced to the white wall on the right. So this is a natural reflector that could lit the other side of the face.

Little Monkie #2 would love to join in (he loves his sis veerrrryyy much).

 
 What a great pose and smile, too bad that Little Monkie #3 has moved, so she became blurry. Little Monkie #2 has also blocked out some light from behind, so his face is a bit darker than expected on the left. I still like it tho'.

The sun was rushing to go home that I got only a few minutes for "one round of crawling". Below is another fav shot. If the continuous shooting mode was set, instead of single shoot, this may be a better picture. Oh well, let me try again next time...
