  • Ambient Light Portrait of Model…

    As much as I’m enjoying experimentation with flash and diffusion, there’s still nothing quite like finding a patch of beautiful ambient light…  (Illuminating a beautiful subject, of course.  Thanks, Karin!)  …Alright I’d better get to sleep soon; gotta get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to go out to Anza Borrego  for an all-day photo adventure!

    Nikon D300, Sigma 50-150 2.8, 150mm @ f/2.8, RAW, Bridge CS3…
    (Subject was in the shade of a tree, with overcast light coming from behind the camera and also falling on the background a bit…)

  • It is beautiful light, she looks very 3d :)

  • Desert wild flowers photos???

  • Not sure if I like the editing on this image, maybe just personal preference, but her face is almost too perfect looking…like a mask

  • @broncomom - Look at her chest / neck where I didn’t do any retouching-  she’s just got great skin!  (Also, if your monitor is too bright, it *will* make that skin look too smooth because it’s right up there near 255 on the RGB scale…)

    @mylifeistaken - Ha.  Ha.  Free, on a Saturday?  Good one.  Actually I might be free, but I might also have a photo shoot.  This photo shoot may just so happen to be open-ended, if you’re interested in tagging along / helping out / shooting…

    Take care all, and thanks for commenting!

  • Great picture. I was just out at Anza-Borrego on Monday! Great Photo opts. there!

  • @MatthewSaville - Can I tag along on your Saturday photo shoot?

  • @broncomom - When I hear back from the couple, I’ll let you know.  Might there be any wildflower-y locations you could suggest, around orange county?

  • Nix’s Nature Center is just starting to show blooms, but if they don’t mind walking, the trail beside Barbara’s Lake is always nice
