Day 2

I caught an angel praying next to our Christmas tree... or at least that's what it looked like to me.


Except for the cinnamon roll crumbs all over her face, that is... :)
Taken with my new 5D, 100mm lens (which is quickly becoming my favorite, I think) and flash bounced off the ceiling. I think I was using Theresa's magic 1/125, 5.6 combo, but I'm not sure and can't access my EXIF at the moment. PS is down in my house at the moment. All editting done in Picassa- crop and "glow"- I couldn't resist, it looked too perfect here. I can't really color correct, so yellow it is. Hey, it's "warm" ;)
TFL.

I think the yellow glow adds to the image. I like the 100mm on the 5D too, it's a great portrait lens as well as a macro.

Very sweet! I like the yellow myself. I took a few of my DD and had that yellow glow I think it adds to it.

LOL on the crumbs :) I love the Nikon 105 for portraits, so I'd imagine the 100 is great as well. Looks like you;re getting the hang of your new camera just fine!

Very cute! Glad to hear you like this lens. I know FF is totally different than having the crop factor, but I'm seriously considering this lens as my next purchase.

I really like the yellow coloring, adds to the magic and feeling of the photo. Give it an atique-y type feel. And super sweet capture. Have fun with the new camera!
