Gone Vintage or Something like that.

So I ordered an old baby bathtub off ebay and it came yesterday. So we have an overcast day today, lots of decent light though in my great room, all windows, so I threw an old wool blanket (family heirloom) on our coffee table, moved it to what little area of wall we have in our great room and took some pictures of my daughter. I made the hat on Monday for a shoot I had on Tuesday, so I wanted to see how it would all look with my daughter.

Here's some of my results.

I used natural light coming in thru a window, also reflected light back to try to eliminate a shadow from the hat, used gold. In Post I just duplicated the layer, bw'd that layer and adjusted the opacity. A little contrast/brightness adjustment and here's what I walked away with.

there's more of course but I won't bore you with all of them

Here's the last one

Thanks Z, much appreciated. #4 is my favorite because of her bottom lip is sticking out. lol But she's actually chewing on candy. hahaha I kept having to throw candy in the tub to keep her in the tub and cooperating. you do what you can to get the shot. lol
