USING SHADE

Today was a perfect day out at the park. I saw at least 4 other photographers out taking pictures of families, seniors and models. The only problem was the sun. Not a cloud in the sky, and when trying to take portraits, a perfect day out is not always a perfect setting for a picture. This shot was taken in a shaded area with the sun actualy to the back behind the backdrop seen here. Taking a picture in shade with a shaded backdrop helps to control the shot. Also, watch out for "sunspots" comming through the trees, such as the small on on the mothers right arm here. Also, a diffused flash or umbrella off the the side never hurts. -blessings-
