I ♥ Faces - NO FLASH


ADULT ENTRY:

KIDS ENTRY:


I hate flash. Probably because I don't understand it completely, but mostly because I don't care for what it does to my images and I can't entertain the thought of carrying around a hand held unit while trying to do the very active work that I do. I love daylight savings time, and I love overcast stormy days. Both make for great natural light. My adult entry was taken around 7pm here in Central Texas, on the side of a building that was in full shade. My kids entry was taken at high noon, on a very cloudy day with no shade. My kids entry is my go-to image for when I need a cheer; it just cracks me up that the sole girl on the team is acting anything but ladylike, and the little boy to her right, what a trip! Now it's your turn, head over to I ♥ Faces and show the world the face that gives YOU cheer!

I know what you are saying about Daylight Savings Time! I think both choices are superb and it is fun to hear a bit about when and where the shots were taken. And really, how can you NOT smile with that basketball team?!

What great shots! :-) I love the background on your adults shot - and the basketball team definitely brings a smile to my face!

I love both these images. Usually I'm not so fond of "urban" locations, but I really like this grungy rusty wall as a backdrop to this lovely couple. Nice!

And the basketball team just cracks me up!!

I loved the one of the couple when I first saw it posted with the Harley photo - great entry! The kids entry rocks! It belongs on a poster or something. It is so cute! I have your homecoming pic up on my blog for the support our troops giveaway, but I couldn't size it to 640 without cutting off half the image. Any ideas?

I always look forward to your pictures. As usual, both are fabulous. Not only great composition and exposure, but each shows such emotion.

I'm totally loving all your pictures! I'll have to make this a regular place to come. Well done! And don't be a flash hater. :) When you bounce it, it becomes a lot nicer!

Such sweet pictures! I'm foreseeing another top ten!
