Cootie Bugs

This photo challenge, with Ed's Photography and a new photographer from Milestones, was to take a photography representing "Toys".

Cootie Bugs

My daughter got the Game Cootie from Santa Claus this year and I thought what better to shoot a picture of then this classic game.

I shot this on my new Denim Background I got for Christmas using a external flash mounted on camera. I placed a white cloth over the the flash to try and soften the light. I also bounced the flash off a white ceiling. There was some ambient halogen lights in the room as well. A little post processing to brighten the colors helped as well.

Special thanks to my Wife, since I don't have a good way to hold the background, she lent a few hands.
