dobbino's photos
The young ones - i
Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 4 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Late last month I was honoured to be asked to take the photos at my nephew's 21st birthday party. I must say they took a bit of a gamble, as I had never done this before, and it sent Jacqui and me scurrying into our darkish garage to take quite a few test shots to check camera settings. It was time well spent, and taught me a great deal about my camera. I ended up using the "Program" mode, with my external flash, and apart from forgetting to set the camera's white balance to "flash" (luckily I had taken all the shots in RAW mode so was able to make that adjustment after the fact), everyone seemed happy with the end results.
Anyway, the series title was inspired by the song from Sir Cliff Richard, and this is the first photo of some of the really beautiful people who were there that night.
Clive, Jacqui, and Roice - thanks for the opportunity!
All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
