Chocolate Girl!
Category: People 'n Portraits

Devi Parvathi (isnt it a big name for a small girl? I guess, Malu suits hers better!), was too busy easting chocolate, when I clicked, but the moment I did, she came running to me and checked up how she looked through the camera! A young model in the making ... dont you think?

She is the same girl in one of my earlier posts (see Kids @ Padinharayil, 2009). I used the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L (macro) lens for this shot, handheld in full manual mode, f/3.5, 1/320s and ISO-200. I also had the Vivitar 285HV strobe mounted on the camera, bouncing off the ceiling, without which I cant get this shot from the light available indoor.

The only processing I did with this pic was to increase the saturation by a whisker. Otherwise, the pic is as it is from the camera, without even a crop.

Cute she looks with the chocolate remains on the face :)

Btw when u bounce the flash off the ceiling won't the lower part becomes dark? Whenever I tried, that's what happened n I didn't like it :( Think even in yours it's the same effect. Have u tried bouncing it off 45 degrees?

Mridula: Isnt naughty the word :)

Dhanya: Bouncing off a white celing usually gives good result. Just check ur flash settings ... like say with bounce u shud set it for longer distances. In my flash there is a wide/normal/tele settings and normal shud be used in bounce mode. Otherwise, the light may not reach the subject well

Joshi: I bet :) She was full of energy and curiosity :)

Rocksea: Thnx :) and yeah I was fortunate with that chocolaty background :)

Vamsee: I wanted to do that for the entire time I was there :) And the energy is only reflective of the subject :)

Neelima: I wud vouch that its naughty ;-)
