Is DIVO boy for DIVA? POTD 4.17.07
This is my little DIVO (male version of a DIVA!!) one minute he's happy and the next...better get some earplugs. My mom says that he may look just like daddy, but he acts just like his momma. Now, what is that to mean ma? I love that he's got different emotions and not afraid to show them all-sometimes in one day. His daddy and grandpa are both emotional men, so it should not surprise me that he is too. It will be so much fun to watch him grow and continue to develop his personality.
I took these with my 85mm lens, it's such a nice portrait lens. I'm trying to be a little bolder in my pping, so I experiemented with soft light layers. I kept it at a very light opacity-15% I believe. Next time I'll be even bolder because I think I could really like this effect.
Some have asked why I have to take daily injections throughout my pregnancy. I take the shots to prevent blood clots. After we lost DD, the doc found a small clot in the placenta. Even though multiple blood tests never confirmed or diagnosed me with anything, because of the clot...it was something preventitive that could be done for the next time around. Thank you for all the kind thoughts/words, they are very appreciated!

I just wanted to answer your question from my blog. I did make the baby's hat and it was SO simple! I bought a baby-sized stocking cap (on clearance for 50 cents!) and then bought 2 bunches of flowers from WalMart. I popped the flower part off of the stem and used a hot glue gun to stick them all over the hat. It only took me 10 minutes start to finish and cost about $5.00. :)
aww what a sweet liitle guy. Im not sure about the divo thing, lol
heather those eyes are just georgous! the 85 is indeed a cool lens...i just haven't gotten around to using it that much... but i wonder what does the 'soft light' layer does?... your shots don't need much pp'ing in my opinion...tfs!
Lovely shots, he's got beautiful eyes! I love using a soft light layer, it's part of my processing on almost every photo. 15% is just about right (IMO) for people pics.
Love your new lens. What incredilby crisp pictures :) His eyes are gorgeous. The last one is my favorite!
He is a cutie! And oh my what gorgeous eyes. TFS
Those are great shots! I love his eyes! I have never used soft light...hmmm I should put that on my to try list...I love the closeups!
