Challenge: Transparency III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: My dining room, Minneapolis, MN USA
Date: Dec 27, 2008
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/180
Galleries: Portraiture, Children
Date Uploaded: Dec 27, 2008

 Shot with a clear plastic leaf/trash bag in front of the camera for diffusion. Window light camera left with a slight boost from a shoot-through umbrella and speedlight. I had scribbled with colored markers on the plastic to see if the blotches of out-of-focus colors might be interesting. It didn't really work as I had planned but you can see a reddish color streak across her hair and a purple blob at the bottom by her scarf. Both seemed to work out okay but I don't think I'd do it again.

Post processing was minimal...
Camera Raw - white balance, exposure, blacks
CS4 - curves, noise reduction, border, save for web

I know from the challenge that this was taken through some object, however if I were looking at this shot out of context then it would just look like a blurry photo.

Great use of a soft focus technique to make the picture more about form, light, feel.
