Description

I smiled, took a photo, and she smiled back.Canon Elan 7Ne 50mm 1:1.8 II @ 1.8 Kodak BW400CN Canon Speedlite 420EX bounced -1 FEC

I really like the background story.
It enhances the picture a lot.
She's very pretty. ^^
I'm really very speechless at the moment.
So I don't really have a lot of critique to give.
The picture is very complete, though.
Congratulations on the DD!
And now, a favorite for you.

Captivating. I wish you had managed one of you also, watching her in return.
She is so pretty. A perfect shot.

Very nice shot. Tones work well. Was it originally shot in colour? I agree with another comment from someone that the pic would have been nicer with a larger aperture to soften the background even more.
The look in the girls eyes is so innocent and questioning at the same time.
Im sure I dont have to say this but its worth adding. Be careful when taking shots of children that you dont know without getting prior permission from an accompanying adult. I was out shooting some pics the other day and spent a lot of time in a short dark, dead end alleyway with a high wall either side. I was trying to get the exposure correct for a particular shot, anyway after about 5 minutes a lady came down the alleyway and asked me if I was OK and what was I doing. I said I was fine and that I was just taking some photos. She smiled and then informed me that there was a nursery school on the other side of the wall. Needless to say I felt very silly indeed and can only imagine what she must have thought I was up to......

Thank you. It was shot on BW400CN, which is a black and white film that's processed in color chemicals.
About the permission, I was the paid photograpehr for this event, and had the parents sign a model release. But I'm not too worried (still am a little bit) because you can't make out her face too well. How did things turn out with that lady in the alley?

Ah that explains it then. I thought you were just in some random location and she was a random girl that you took a photo of. How do I get a model release form. Sounds like a good thing to have.
Things worked out OK with the lady, thankfully she was very understanding. But I guess I really must have looked very strange eh !!!!

I have a model release online, I'll note you with a link once I find out the correct one. It's hard keeping track of all the pages on that website and what not. Model releases are a definite good thing because they protect you, and your rights.

OK that would be great. Thankyou. I think its always wise to try and protect yourself these days. Look forward to receiving the link

I uploaded it to my scraps for ya. It makes it simpler for me. So anyhow, here's the link to downlaod it:

So sweet, it's such a, well, 'true' picture, if you know what I mean... Probably because she didn't really pose or anything^.^

lovely story.
i kinda feel that why when i'm driving my car and in a car in front of me at the back seat there's a child.... looking at me.. smiling... confused waving...
funny and sweet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, I remember doing that. And I still see kids doing that all the time, I think that's pretty funny. The same old thing gets carried along to new generations. A gentle reminder that not everything is going sour these days. Thank you for the compliment.
