We used three locations (a bridge, a tree, and a bench in a park that were close to each other) and several different poses for a total of 36 images. I used fill flash for some of the images, but not for this one. This was the next to the last photo and one of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Our families are friends and I have been doing portraits of this young lady for eleven years.\u00c2\u00a0 She has become at ease in front of the camera and she is used to the way I work. Without saying a word, if I tilt my had a certain way, she knows that is a cue to do the same. It makes for a quick, smooth flowing shoot. Sometimes a short shoot is as good as a long one. As her younger sisters have come along I have been doing portraits of them too.<\/p>\n<p>An aperture of f\/7.1 gave me enough depth of field for the features of her face. In the relatively low light levels I used an ISO of 800 to give me a reasonably fast shutter speed for the breezy conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The mixed lighting in open shade created some color balance issues. I spent more time in post processing with Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop than I did on the photo shoot itself.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo Data: Canon 5D Mark III.
