Sylvie’s Autumn by Lisa Holloway

I’ve waited 3 years to have another baby to do a leaf baby picture with. I love my sweet Sylvie. This was taken using the Canon 400mm F-2.8L. I literally laid on the ground and used the handle to stabilize it. It’s ridiculously heavy. Heavy but fun. I had purchased it some time back because my husband wants to do some wildlife photography and I like taking the occasional photo of the moon, but my dear friend Meg inspired me to dust it off and use it for people. This isn’t a lens I’d ever use with a client as it’s not really practical, but it was fun to play with my own baby. And just to nip a few questions in the bud – the blur is real. All of it. NONE added in post. This is all the lens and the location I shot in. Secondly, the leaves are also real. My husband was throwing them for me. I took a lot of shots of leaves falling and used my favorites in this image. Thanks for looking. 🙂
