Location
The photo was taken at Veczemju rocksTime
It was windy and sunny Saturday evening and second photo shoot with Gundega. This photo was taken on June 26, 2010 at 8.22 PMLighting
Nice sky with clouds made comfy background from where to stand up and golden hour sun was enough bright (or dark) to light up model. It would be nice to have some reflector from side, but had no one to help with it.Equipment
This was shoot with my good old Olympus E500 with 18 - 180 mm lensInspiration
I saw a large rock on the beach and told Gundega to try climb up. We tried some ordinary poses and then Gundega stood in this pose and I just needed to find best angle and lowest position to emphasize all.Editing
I changed form factor from 4x3 to 3x2 and did some minor color tweaks.In my camera bag
That days I had Olympus E500 with kit 18 - 180 mm lens. Now I'm carrying Canon 7D with 50mm f/1.8 II and 28-135mm Kit lensFeedback
My best results are achieved when I work with model not first time and we both know what to expect from each. Golden hour don't last forever so you need to know what you want to achieve for best results.
