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
