Well Loved

This well-loved young man, receiving a grandmotherly kiss, was one of Cameron's special guests at her first birthday party last week.

This image was shot across a crowded kitchen full of relatives and assorted birthday party guests with a Canon 5D Mark II, using tungsten white balance and ISO 1600, in available, mixed indoor lighting with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens set at 200 mm, f/2.8, and underexposed by 1/3 stop at 1/125 second.

Post processing was done in Adobe Camera Raw and CS4. Notice how the white balance set for the tungsten foreground lighting produced a complementary blue color cast on the natural white sunlight in the background.

You may want to click on this image to see it larger. I'm wondering if I should clone out one of the double catch lights in each of his eyes. What do you think?
