Looking down on you
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 3 November 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
My little companion Bahbahra sometimes has a complex about her size, when she discovered that standing beside one of my coca cola collectible houses she felt quite large and seemed quite happy
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

No wonder; she's an amazon compared to those people looking in the window. Nice setup and lighting.

@Steve Rice: The lighting I used here was very simple actually, its actually sunlight coming through a window, I just blocked some of the sun with a couple of towels to try and get just a beam of light
@Calusarus: then I am glad, my Bahbahra shots are all in fun and meant to make people smile, so now I smile

Heheheheh, you are so funny....love that sense of humour!!! Bahbahra, I have to say, looks lovely as ever, her eyes sparkle!! Maybe thats cos she finally has less of a complex about her size???

@Linerberry: Bahbahra thanks you for your kind words, yes this shot made her feel a lot bigger than she is, however some other shots which I will post in the future has the opposite affect

Ha ha ha! Looks like she's auditioning for a Godzilla movie! Great idea. About the Godzilla line. I didn't mean she looked scary. She actually has quite a concerned look on her face. Love the lighting, too.
