I figured I will try some portraiture with my youngest son Sebastian. I read an interesting passage today. The best way to start with photography, is to start photographing your loved ones. Either you will get clobbered, or you might get some interesting shots like these. These were taken with on camera flash and a Fong diffuser. Enjoy.
Took this photo, at my brother’s house in Calgary. They wanted to do something different, something fun. So we came up with this idea. I think it came out quite interesting to say the least. In their defense, they are quite well adjusted, normal people. 🙂

This was taken for “2 Person Portrait” challenge. I thought of taking a photo like this for a while now. Tried different settings and places. Unfortunately the first attempt weren’t very good. I figured that the aperture will have to be small. Because of position, I was almost touching the ball with the camera, and the focus was on boys faces. Making the aperture small at around f/10 made the ball and their legs in focus. The initial shot had the bar of the goal on the top, but after good advice from friends I decided to crop it out of the picture. The rest of the effect was done by selective desaturation, of practically every color except for yellow and orange. This gave the boys some color, and everything else black and white. Thoughts?
