Portraits in nature…
Several times I have been criticized for paying more attention to animals, bugs and birds, so just to shake things up a bit I decided a little bit of portraiture wouldn’t hurt my portfolio.
Conditions were hardly ideal after we missed the golden hour and the sun was beating down on us hard. So we had to look for a nice shaded area with just the right amount of light. The little bit of over exposure adds to the overall effect. Though this was shot with one of the best lens for portraiture, 50mm, I didn’t get the desired Out-Of-focus(OOF) effect so post processed the image a little.
