A dream come true

Not really a funny one, but this was my valentine's present for my wife. Would have been great if I could have taken the picture in the front while she was still pregnant, but this would have meant not to touch the tripod in the bathroom for half a year...

HGIMP admin notice: PROZAC74, for real: you have the most awesome and creative shots. We enjoy viewing them here in HGIMP. However, this is high participation group that requires frequent group participation and commenting on other people's photos. Think of it as a TWO WAY street. I would like to leave you a gentle reminder to comment on many per one submission. You are not commenting on the photos in between your submissions. Please go back to the group pool and participate before posting your photos. I want to welcome you to the group, and encourage more "two way street" participation from you.

Thanks! HGIMP co-administrator.

I don't understand your 6 months of tripod touching deprivation, it sounds a little rude.

I like this series, and congratulations on the little mirror image.
Posted 47 months ago. ( permalink )

- Kemaha - says:

I'm presuming its because it looks to be quite a small bathroom and women do tend to blossom out when they are pregnant so there might not have been room for both....

You can delete this comment if you find it to be offensive Prozac :-)

Prozac74 says:

@photuomey and Teaseress
You both got me wrong I think. To do these photos you actually have to take two photos from exactly the same angle under exactly the same light conditions (sorry for all those that I have desillusioned now. The mirror is not really magic...).
I can not put the camera on the tripod in the bathroom, take a photo of my pregnant wife, let the whole setup untouched for half a year in my bathroom, just to do the second shot from the same angle 6 month later.
There is nothing rude about that, except that my wife would have become rude if the tripod standed in her way for half a year.
Beside that the bathroom became really small towards the end of her pregnancy...

I understood the up front comments about not being able to capture the pregancy then wait. But hey, you could've had your wife in makeup to *look* pregnant (stuff a few pillows, etc).

Late last night a call came and from daughter in law. Two days ago I had this dream about son and his wife having another baby and I shared with husband. Their first son, Trey, was born this past January and they so wanted another close to Trey. Well, my dream was right. Son got on the phone and was so emotional with joy and crying with joy. It was so touching. Your photo here is so touching!
Adorable and precious family

this one has perfect white balance to my eye and is perhaps my fave in the serie.
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

Prozac74 says:

You are right. After your input I went through the series and also came to the conclusion that the white balance is best here. Probably also due to us wearing so much white. However I will try to adjust the others like that.

chargall says:

Magnificent creativity. I love the contrast between the sad expression of the girl's profile and the radiant smile in the mirror. 20/20 for the creativity, but the light reminds me of a hospital... the shot would have been better in a warmer atmosphere. Why choose the bathroom? A mirror in a bedroom would have been better, maybe...

Very well done, though !

elvis_payne says:

I'm a great fan of Prozac74's photos and they inspired me for the few mirror shots I have on my photostream. On this occassion (as with the others) the idea is fantastic and superbly excecuted. Having tried this myself I know it can be awkward to get the right angle so that you can add a mirror image to it. Taking away the sentimental value of the shot, the lighting is bright, the figures sharp and the composition wonderful. :o)

nicely done, creative and good work in photoshop. these are cool shots, as so many popular story shots of _rebekka and her clones.
this is nice in color. only thing distracts a bit is the light above the mirror and some tight cropping of mirror and your arm.

A very original idea idea with an excellent execution, particularly in terms of the composition, the light and tones, the cropping, and the context management. A picture that could easily become a pitfall, transmits an intimacy and a remarquable family atmosphere.
