Just a couple of shots I tried with my ghetto lighting set up in the last couple of weeks. Did some PP on my older sons pic, thought it came out ok. Lighting consited of theree 8 dollar lights from Home Depot, and a black bed sheet! Hope you like. TFL

Well done, they are great shots of the boys. The baby is especially cute and the last pic is brilliant.

The first shot of the older boy is interesting too, I like the camera angle. The only thing that does not look quite right to me is the colour balance in that one - it looks a bit too yellow. You mentioned doing some PP on that one, was this deliberate?

Great series of pictures,

Cheers,

Gerard

I agree with Gerard, seems like you might have warmed it up a little too much. Nice set all in all!

Thanks for the comments Gerard, Jamie, & Joodiespost. I was trying for a LOMO'ish look. Here is the original

Yes, that is better. Not that there is anything wrong with experimenting with effects, I love playing around with processing but it is easy to get carried away.

You have done a great job with the lighting, I am still learning on that front (on all fronts come to think of it!)

Great shots with "ghetto lighting" - good looking set of kids. I have been experimenting with it myself. Would you mind posting a pic of your setup or emailing me one. I would like to see what I could do to emulate your set a little. Thanks!

They are adorable....I love the whole set, but the 3rd one with the baby is fantastic.
