I love this. The way you have his face turned keeps the light from being to harsh. Was this an over cast with a break in the clouds?

Behind The Lens

Location

Alamogordo, New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Time

Late morning….the sunshine was perfect that day for shooting, sunny with a few clouds.

Lighting

The flash helped for detailing of the face….if not my flash I would have used a reflector…

Equipment

50D Canon, Canon 100 mm,Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite

Inspiration

Enjoying the afternoon with my nephew and decided to take a portrait of him while visiting the school grounds.

Editing

Levels adjustment, white balance and sharping and used some overlays.

In my camera bag

This day I just had my camera, lens, and flash…I will usually carry a couple of other lens with me.

Feedback

I always use fill flash…love to see the face lit up and the eyes with catch lights.
