Bill Pador > This is a shot of my beautiful Niece (L) and my Oldest Daughter (R) who FINALLY let me snap her portrait. I have shared many shots of my youngest daughter (who is my favorite model) in the past because she has no fear of having her photo snapped but my oldest has been a normal 15 yo teenager and every single frame I have of her in the last few years had a hand in her face or goofy expression. But I think that her Christmas gift of getting her braces off on Christmas Eve. (they were on for 32 months) has given her a new found freedom and joy to SMILE once again and she granted me my Christmas wish of taking her picture without all the moaning or silliness, "Thanks Jac! You made your dad VERY happy . . ." I converted this one into a sepia with light vignette using Nik Silver Efex Pro. Just a few clicks here & there along with a ghost frame & key line then it was done. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend, I'm just relaxing and playing with some images today, to me that's all the joy I need! ~Bill~

Bill Pador > "Those Eyes" details best seen @ size X3 While walking through my kids TV room last night I noticed a great beam of natural sunlight coming through the front window as the sun was going down and then saw my daughter Alexa's eyes catching the light as well. So I made her get off the couch (I know I'm a terrible Dad LOL) and had her stare out of the window. I should have went to get my 50mm Nikkor or 90mm Tamron for this Portrait to get a sharper image but I was lazy and stuck with the 18-200 VR that was on the body but I think it did a fine job, impressed me really. When seen as large as possible you can see each individual eye lash reflected on her retina, pretty cool! I then hit this with my normal Portraiture work flow & slight glamour treatment, removed a bunch of small hairs in between the nose, shaped her brows and did some very minor burning to bring out her cheek bone a little bit and that's it. The shadow is all natural just using proper exposure settings and shooting tight to prevent any of the background in the room from showing. Alexa's eyes are usually a nice blue but she was wearing a purple shirt which turns them a wild greenish aqua blue seen here. She's my favorite model and loves to have her photo taken so we both make out on the deal whenever I want to do a portrait to keep my skills sharp ;) I like this one so much I'll be ordering it in a large format lustre print or possibly a canvas to hang on my office wall! ~I just love my kids ~ Hope you all like it, Have a Great Day everyone ! PS: This image has been the #1 Rated photo on my site since it's post date. Please click on the 'Green Thumbs Up' sign over the image if you agree to keep it rated #1 ~Bill~
