hot Shot #5

paul’s comment

lens exposure Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8l is usm 1/500 sec, f/2.8, iso400 This shot was one Nina had been waiting to get all day – with our subject backlit by the sun that’s now lower in the sky, while her face is in diffused top light. It’s so simple, yet so effective, as the rim light around long hair makes her really stand out from the contrasting background. It was shot on Nina’s 70-200mm lens at the long end and wide open at f/2.8. Nina suggested a black-and-white conversion; she explained that by removing any colour the eye is drawn straight to the girl’s face and happy expression.
