All photos uploaded for that day will be posted on a web site and the best photos will be published in a book this fall. The photos are are about your day, what you do, where you work, what you do for fun, your friends, your home, your neighborhood, your city.<\/p>\n<p>I was scheduled to do portraits in the park for some friends that afternoon. I picked the above portrait as one of my favorites from the photo shoot to send to ADAY.org. It was taken at 5:34 pm, EDT, Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>She is a thoughtful and introspective young lady, so I chose a pose that would reflect that.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a sunny day, so I picked a location on a bridge that was out of the direct sunlight. I chose a shooting angle that would minimize any sunlight in the background.\u00c2\u00a0 At a focal length of 121 mm, an aperture of f\/8 gave me enough depth of field for her face but kept the background blurred. The lower light levels in the shade meant I needed to increase the ISO to 400 to get a useable shutter speed of 1\/60 second. The increase in digital noise at ISO 400 is pretty minimal.<\/p>\n<p><em>Exposure Data: Canon 5D.
