Thanks so much, Marc. i appreciate you taking time to comment and I'm glad you like it. It would be Menorim but to be absolutely accurate it would have to be Hanukkiyot. Happy New Year!
All the best,
Endre

Well done. A nice balance in the shot between the menorahs (is that correct plural or is it menoriim) and your daughter. Light is perfect.
Thank you, Carrol! I'm always delighted when you like one of my shots so much!
Happy New Year!
All best wishes!

The lighting on her face is perfect! And the catch-lights are great! And the all-blue... the exclamation!
Great shot.
Happy Hanukkah!

Thanks. So glad you like it. Yes, you may ask, but I won't tell.
Seriously, I had my trusty sheet of black velvet for a background. All the Hanukkiyot were on a piece of aluminum foil on the table which helped reflect light and protect from dripping wax. Then I bounced my on-camera flash off the ceiling. Pretty simple but effective.
Hello Endre,
Happy Holidays to you.
What a great shot! The lighting is lovely as well as the contemplative expression you've captured of your daughter. It serves to remind us all of the roots of the holidays, and that it's not supposed to be just about commercialism. Nice work as usual.

Strad, do I understand correctly that you used a piece of aluminum foil to reflect the light on her face? The shot is lovely! You are very good with Light! It's nice how her clothing goes right along with the theme colors!
Thanks so much, Nick, my friend! I'm so glad you got what I was trying to convey. It's nice to know my intent was successful. I'm delighted you like it.
Happy New Year!
Fond regards,
Endre

Just perfect!
What a gift your daughters will have if they have children of their own some day -
a whole collection of portraits of mother, done by grandfather the master photographer.
Aww, Jess, you're so sweet! Thanks for the kind compliments.
Have a wonderful New Year!
