Portraits of my wife, son and daughter

[vtrjames]

Evening all,

For the first time in weeks we were able to go and sit in a park local to us since lock-down began. I took the camera and reflector but didn't really have anything planned; it was a just in case move. I came away with the photos below, I'm sure they will evoke memories in years to come:




To take the photos I placed a reflector on the ground with it angled ever so slightly upwards; the light was harsh as it was midday and dappled because we were sat under a tree which didn't help! Anyway for those that are interested they were taken with a Nikon D7200 and a Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 lens.

I'm sure they will evoke memories in years to come:

Well done, the reflector has done a really good job, I must buy one, how big was the one you used?

Make the most of being able to capture your kids like this, in a flash they will be teenagers, and you try photographing them!!

They're great, and like you say, memories of your first post lockdown outing.

Mine is a Neewer 5 in 1 110cm reflector. You can pick them up on Amazon for £20 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Col...+5-in-1+110+centimeters&qid=1591127402&sr=8-2).

Thanks all for the kind words!

Here's the last two from the set. I can't decide between the 2x3 and square crop; I think I prefer the square crop though.
