Here is another image made during yesterday’s shoot. I found this great location where the textures and colors of the grasses proved a perfect background for this shot. There were a lot of beautiful spots in the park for pictures but this one turned out to be one of my favorites. I had to shoot around some large power units which the park had disguised in these grasses, but that was not a problem. The image is a straight forward outdoor portrait of a bride. I balanced the light – a strobe through my Zumbrella - coming from camera left with the ambient. I underexposed the ambient just a bit to bring out the flattering direction of light on my subject. The grasses not only added texture and color to the background, but a little implied motion as well. The large aperture softened the background substantially so as not to distract form the subject. All these elements came together for a beautiful portrait of our bride. Camera specs; Canon 7D fitted with 70-200mm F2.8 IS lens at 85mm, F3.5 @ 1/200 second, ISO 100. Enjoy! -David
P.S. I’ll get the rest of today’s post up early this afternoon. -David
