Summer Evening Portrait

12 years 6 months ago #149903 by rmeyer7
This was from July 4th, I took my camera with me to a fireworks show but also ended up snapping a few photos of my wife who happened to be sitting with the setting sun right behind her. C&C welcomed of course :)

May have needed to get lower to avoid the strong flare and perhaps fill flash.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I thought about cloning out the flare, but I kind of liked it in this particular shot. Fill flash would have been great, but I left it at home because I was only planning on shooting the fireworks. If I remember correctly, I think I was reflecting what little light I could with the top of a white ice chest :rofl:

I just did a shoot where I played around a lot with intentional flare/washout and hard back light, so you know I like it.
