Scott and Mac
I was going out of the World Series in Estoril, when I just met these two girls.
I said:
Oh, how lovely these little girls are ... Can I make a photo of you ?
They looked at their parents, and the mother said:
Oh sure, go ahead.
I placed the 1.st girl where there was a convenient background. I shot her 10 pictures may be, while talking to her.
I just jumped, making like a monkey and said:
I am doing like a monkey.
Which I actually don't. I did not tell her this.
For the second girl (the photo on the left) I shot her in a rather different place, but very near.
I should have been more careful with the light, underexposing for the background as I had my friend holding the flash at my left on the first picture.
On the second one, (the one on the right) I did not use any flash but I should, in order to fill in the harsh shadows on our left.
When in these kind of situations I must be more calm and think light a thunder how and to do the better photo.
Gosh, I'm surprised no one said this, but the first shot is a bit too magenta. And the second has a major blue cast to it....
Very cute! They are so adorable - you really captured their joy!
Think you're pretty funny don't you. Here we are, trying to provide useful feedback and you have to go and crack a joke. You know, there's just no accounting for some people's kids!

Wish I'd thought of that comment though!
Hi Scott,
Don't take it that way.
It's a joke. I myself have a lauzy character and return less nice comments sometimes.
I usually say to people:
You are driving your car and you see the one in front of you, just turn right without making the signal.
Then you protest. You say: People should be punnished for not making signals.
As you continue to drive, some miles, kilometers, further away you do exactly the same thing you have criticized.
Conclusion: That's life my friend and we are all Humans. And Humans fail.
I don't want to patronize you. Oh no. Not at all.
I read it as a joke and I gave the proper anwser.
If there one laughing it is me all right ! ... rofl

Love the photos. Really like the balancing of flash with ambient in the first.
And, even better, the expression of the sister in the first photo put a smile on my face!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank for telling me your opinion on the photos.:D
In my monitor they look OK or my eyes don't see those casts ...
Wish I'd thought of that comment though!

This is another case where trying to express humor in a forum just doesn't work. I was trying to add humor to humor and I, obviously, missed the mark.
I guess I should have used lots of these guys --->

I have experienced that one day when I anwsered someone that a lenshood is for aesthetical purposes only.
