Christmas Party with Kolaches!

Nothing fancy; a snapshot of three little girls enjoying kolaches while visiting with the Santa man.  It makes me smile.

Used flash on the shot.  I’ve been getting away from flash but this was a perfect setting.  There was a lot of natural light from some large windows so the flash provided fill light, keeping those pesky raccoon eyes away.  In Lightroom, I reduced  clarity on the faces (although the faces are already pretty soft on these pretty, young ladies) and increased contrast, vibrance and saturation.  Added a vignette to set the girls off and reduce the distraction of the boys in the background.

She picked out the dress.  She wore highheels (which she swears she will never do again…hehehehe).  But she is still my baby girl.

Nikon D90 with Sigma 24-70 at 70mm.  1/60s at f/5, ISO200, Portrait Mode.  SB600 speedlight with Lightsphere 2 diffuser (white).  In Lightroom, cropped, reduced clarity, added vibrance and mask sharpened.
