Merry Christmas! Despite the coming rain and ice, and the many things to take care of we will take the time to remember the wonder of Christmas. Remember who it was that Mary laid in a feeding trough for animals - God in human wrappings came near.How did I do it?
I didn't take a set up shot for this, but here's how it worked. The flash was on a cable stuck in the back of the stable, a Lumiquest softbox/bouncecard was used on the flash. I took the flash all the way down to the lowest setting 1/16 power, ISO 6, F1.6, I ramped up the shutter speed to somewhere around 1/640. Keep the baby interested in what she needs to be looking at, she tried to eat sheep a few times. I set up the shot in about 5 minutes and placed the baby in the frame and within 3 minutes we moved on to the next picture. We did a little cleaning of the background in GIMP 2.6. If you have a really good point and shoot, you may be able to do this, you'll need some light in the stable, a desk lamp or something to make it work.
