Introducing Frances

Patti

My daughter recently had my first and likely only grandchild. We're all smitten of course. Here she is at 2 weeks old, natural light only. I'm getting practice using computer paper to bounce light. :wink

Congrats! Precious expression.

Get thee to either a dollar store or craft store and buy a piece of white foamboard for under $5. Alternatively, for $11 shiny new dollars, you can get a 4x8ft piece of foam insulation at Home Depot and chop it up into multiple reflectors. Easier to handle ...

Lastly, if you want to go posh, ebay has great 5-in-1 reflectors for cheap (these are both under $20. I have a couple of these from ebay and the quality is fine - in fact, in one case it's better than the Interfit reflector I bought via Adorama for rather more money....)

Thanks. I've got a smallish fold-up one that I forgot I had with me if you can believe it. Foamcore is a good idea too.

Thanks Trudy. We're pretty smitten and until she can talk and object to being photographed, I can have at it.
