So yeah, umm, my friend Jessica, whose little kid I've posted pictures in here of, I guess her aunt was pregnant but the baby died literally the day before it was supposed to be born. Something about the umbilical cord choking it or something? And so the aunt asked Jessica to take pictures of said dead baby. I had given her my old D7100 and she bought a new 35mm 1.8g, so I figured she could go ahead and knock that out. But now she's asking if I could do it for her. If I could take the pictures of the dead baby. I still have my 105mm macro, and I'm pretty sure I could do a decent enough job, and no. There's no way I'm doing that. I don't think I would even do that for someone in my family, let alone perfect strangers. And what, I'd have to come home and do post processing on those *shudders*. I'm seriously not trying to make light of this, and it's unfortunate and sad that this happened, but damn, that's a bit ass favor to ask of someone. Would any of you guys do it? Am I a piece of sh*t for refusing? Because I've told her f*ck no, it ain't happening.

When you come to think of it, almost all human behaviour and activity is not essentially any different from animal behaviour. The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human.

My 4 year old cousin died when I was a kid and the image of a child that small lying dead still stays with me. That was only 10 seconds of seeing her. I cant image having to shoot it and spend hours processing it.

difficult proposition all around
how would one go about "capturing the feeling"?
it is a tragic event for the family no doubt, but it seems you are not really close to them
or maybe that is the reason they asked you?

I guess me being all alpha (j/k) she figured I could handle it. Maybe I could better than her, but I too am a wuss, and seeing people cry makes me cry. No way, man. The poor girl only had a 35mm. So she had to get CLOSE. Yikes. It's over now, so I'm hoping she's doing okay.

Well, I'm not a pro just a hobbyist but actually today I bought a used sony A7 for $650 plus a A mount to E mount adapter for $25. I have old 35 and 50 mm minolta primes that I got for around $100 usd both. I see lots of cheap legacy lenses on flea photography markets that can be adapted to that camera with cheap adaptors so that's a cheap reasonable option imo.
but then again I'm just a hobbyist and I only shoot for fun. Are you shooting as a hobby or professionally?

I am actually deployed aboard a Navy vessel. So Im going to get the opportunity to take pics all over the world. I have a very large interest in night photography. There are some absolutely stunning opportunities out here in the middle of the ocean, where there is basically NO light pollution whatsoever.
Once I get everything in the mail Ill post some shots for C/C.
BTW this thread is full of some really talented people Great job guys, keep it coming!

There is a giant bear-man in this thread that does similar photos.

Nice Aurora light shots, I gotta make it North one of these days for some of that.
Pieceofdebris, that is a bizzare request, I think an old dead man would be do-able, a baby is a bit much. What if you just tell yourself it's sleeping? When I was a kid I knew the animals on the road were dead, but we just said they were napping.
