Photo shoot in the woods - with Florabella

Well - my obsession with Florabella continues!  I just purchased the textures bundle, and I had a vision appear in my head.  I had never gone out to shoot my kids with a post processing technique already in my head.  Well - I did this time - and I think it worked!

Here are the pictures - we went to this woods down the road from my house - we went at about 6:00 - 6:30 - the sun was setting and it was - like I said - in the woods.  When there was light shining through it was glorious!!!  But - you can see with the exposure below - I had to crank up my ISO's and shoot pretty wide.  But - I think it worked!

I used my 50mm, and used all Florabella actions on them, and I think there is a texture on each one as well.  If people want to know - I can start paying more attention to my "recipe" :)

Flora Bella Actions

I recently purchased some Flora Bella Actions.  If you love photography, and photoshop, and if you haven't checked them out - please - go - now!  Well - read the rest of my post - then go :)

Here are some images that I finished editing last night with her LuxeII collection.

The first ones were mainly Tea Time - I did tweak the sliders and adjust a few other - but - the action made the photos!  All of them were shot with my 50mm prime.

SS 1/6400, F/2.8, ISO 320

SS 1/1000, F/2.0, ISO 100

SS 1/1000, F/2.0, ISO 100

SS 1/1000, F/2.0, ISO 100

SS 1/1000, F/2.0, ISO 100

This is one of my favorite of my Hay...such sweet and angelic, with a hint of mischief - which is SO Hay.  And - I am finally figuring out the exposure thing, and how it can make such a difference in the quality of the picture!

SS 1/1250, F/2.0, ISO 100

These were her B/W Blush Action.  Again - I tweaked some here and there and added some other slight adjustments - but - this currently is my favorite black and white change!

SS 1/6400, F/2.8, ISO 320

I love the Bokeh in this image.  I am learning the sweet spot of my new 50mm lens - she really stands out!  Love it - love that blur!
