"Enjoying An Easy Afternoon"

Enjoying An Easy Afternoon

"Enjoying An Easy Afternoon"

Here’s an image I made a few years ago back in my Nikon days.  It’s a very traditional wedding image, but still very pleasing to view.  I remember the beautiful fall location in the soft rolling country hills of Ohio.  The sun was nearly set and the light was gorgeous.  It was at the bride and groom’s request that I do a series of images at this location on the way to the reception.  I’m glad we stopped.  The image was  easy to create and capture.  It’s simply a photograph of the couple backlit by the setting sun. It was getting pretty dark and was one of the last images I photographed at this location.  I chose the very wide aperture in order to really, really soften the background. The background in this scene looks like is was painted by a Renaissance painter- I love how the warm colors and textures add to the overall feel of this image. The clients loved it, too.  Camera specs: Nikon D1x fitted with 80-200 non VR lens at 86mm, F 2.8 @ 1/200 second, ISO 400. Enjoy!  -David

  1. Sometimes, putting the subject on one of the 4 nodal points just doesn't work, does it?

  2. David : you seem to be dreaming about Nikon... you going to come back for the D700/D3S high ISO advantage?
