The wife loved a photo our friends had with their baby in a pumpkin last year. So she was very excited to try it with our kid this year. But our friends had a five old month baby. We've got a 10 month old baby. We bought the biggest pumpkin we could find at a local farm and hoped she would fit. It was a tight squeeze, but she was pretty amused.
Equipment:
Canon 6D with 85/1.8.
Godox AD180 in a knockoff PLM with an Ikea curtain diffuser panel. First photo had a Godox v850 as a not-so-effective rim light.
I like these a lot. I would not have placed the baby in front of the tree though. I think it would have looked better without the tree directly behind him. Probably just preference though.
Thanks for the comments everyone. The rusting fence isn't great, but I was thinking the ivy and bench would make up for it. I may try playing with curves a bit to see if I can mask it more.
As for the tree, I wanted an anchoring point for the subject, so it wasn't floating around in the grass. But I guess I should have tried a third position without the tree right there.
I like the expression in #1 (fence seems so dark it's not an issue for me) but I like the composition in #4 as well. Filling the frame with the child is a good thing. Even though we don't see all of the pumpkin, there is no doubt how large it is.
Aside from the fear of the pumpkin falling off the bench I like it. The top on the ground bothers me more than the fence. The expression is great. I think it's a great series. Did you have to keep stuffing her back in the pumpkin?
cute pics...Thats one big pumpkin and one happy little girl.
Glad you mentioned the "not-so-effective rim light" as the lighting around her head looks odd in #1 but the others pics do not. I almost thought it was over sharpened, like way over sharpened.
