Really delicate and pretty Taffy, love the high key here.

[Margaret Obey]

Love this Taffy. Is the high key achieved by the camera's focus or exposure, or is it done in the processing? Sorry to ask such a simple question, shows just how little I know.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super sweet and delicate image -- so pretty Taffy !

Really beautiful and delicate Taffy. I love that it isn't blown-out as a lot of "high-key" seems to be. Really well shot/processed.

[Taffy]

@ceilidh HI Margaret and thanks for the kind comment! I did this with a combination. First a bit of overexposure in camera. Then, when processing, I increased the exposure more to get the level I wanted. Then as a final tweak, I upped brightness just a bit. Never be reluctant to ask -- it's how we all learned!

[Cazla]

Gorgeous soft colours in this, works really well in high key. Fab

[Margaret Obey]

@taffy Thanks Taffy. If I find the opportunity I'll give it a go. Today has been like being back at school I've learned so much.
