Emily 5/6/08


Question: What do you think of the exposure since Emily is backlit. This is an original non-edited photo.

Very nice image with good color.
Two things they I believe would bring up.
1. try using a little fill flash that is diffused to brighten face but keep skin tones soft.

2. Background is a little busy. Open aperture to blur back ground or use telephoto to decrease depth of field

Ken, thanks for the comments. I was at an f/5.6, the widest possible for that particular lens. I should have changed to a lens with a bigger aperture.

About using fill flash, I did you some fill flash, but not diffused. Would something like a gary fong lightsphere work or would a strobe off the camera with an umbrella be better?

Thanks again,

Devin
