These were some quick hits experimenting with different ways to bounce light. Something I didn't really notice until I put them together like this is some of them have a slightly off WB.







This was right after the above picture, but bounced sideways off the couch.





This was taken close range with the bounce coming back just about directly over his head with not much fill light.

The difference in WB can be attributed to a number of causes (or a combination of such), and I'm sure there are others.

• Color of surface from which your light is bounced
• The camera attempting to correct WB for you and guessing wrong (and differently each time)
• Mixture of light - say from window and from flash or other light source. The mixture ratios may be changing from one shot to the next.

Irrespective of the differences in WB, these are some very cute shots and most are quite sharp - well done!

The top two and bottom two were taken at my mom's and she has a white ceiling and white walls. The middle shots were taken at my brothers that has white ceilings with stained cross beams and yellow walls. The couch I think is a dark brown. For more formal shots, I imagine I would have to make a manual WB setting?

Thanks! I cleanued up the drool drop on his chin as it was distracting, but left everything else.
