A lovely pair of portraits Rob.

As an aside, I showed one of my employees (avery talented artist) Rhona's exhibition shots and he commented on your portrait in the post, "wow, what a pretty lady!").

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha. Cheers, Pete. With my genes, she couldn't fail to be anything but gorgeous

 

[Rob MacKillop]

PS She made the cupcakes herself, and they were yummy!

Agree excellent set of portraits Rob. Like the light on these a lot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. Just window light. We got lucky.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Thanks, Julian. Just window light. We got lucky.

I thought it was window light, which for me cannot be beaten if it is good. I wondered if you arranged that or Rhona happened to be there anyway.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's where I sit with my iMac. She came in and presented me with a cupcake, and I took a quick snap or two with the camera closest to hand. No planning, just the moment. Somehow I feel that's the way it should be. It's now off to The Print Space for a quality print.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The second shot, that is.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

It will make a great print Rob. wondering what iso you used?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Excellent portrait...cute kid...cupcakes nice plus.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Glenn. I'm a lucky guy. Worried today though, as she heads off to Italy with two of her friends, visiting Rome, Florence, Venice and Pisa, all in one week.

@Julian de'Courcy - ISO 100, f/4 AP.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Well...it could be worse. She could be runny off with some bum musician.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Nothing could be worse. Just ask my wife!

Thanks for that info Rob.

Two excellent portraits, Rob. Window light is the best light for portraits I think, and in this pair of images Rhona shines.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. Much appreciated. She's in Rome today!

 

[Brian Moore]

Rome, eh...? Molto bene!

 

[Tom Dunne]

A lovely pair of images of Rhona and the light is very good.
I understand your worry if this is her first trip. Just think though how excited she must be and what a wonderful time she will be having and also knowing how she will be missing you. I found that a good way to deal with it.

What was that Meatloaf song? You know, the one with the line. "Two out of three ain't bad!"
