The Story Behind the Photo

This is a first for this blog. A photo not taken with an analog camera. This image was captured using a Canon Powershot SD600. I wanted to give a feeling of warmth, so I experimented by using the camera with the built-in flash and instead used my Speedlite 420EX fired manually. Interestingly enough, the test image at the beginning (just the background) came out very nicely the first time. Beginner’s luck, to be sure. Acquiring this image took a few tries.

The subject is about seven weeks away from a new phase of life. Hopefully I have captured her excitement and joy.
