| Shop Talk I : Sun Flair | 11.24.08 | News, For Photographers |
| From time to time, I get emails from photographers asking advice and I am so flattered and really excited to share! Recently, it's been happening a lot more often and while I am still extremely flattered and excited, I find it really hard to get the time to respond to everybody individually. So, I came up with two solutions: 1) share whatever helpful hints and experiences I can on my blog and 2) offer workshops. The response I have received with my boudoir workshop (coming soon!) made me realize that I should also consider wedding photography workshops as well as one-on-one private sessions. Shoot me an email if you are interested in receiving workshop information and updates. We are in the process of developing our workshops schedule and curriculum, so stay tuned! Until then, I will be posting quick little helpful hints to some of the questions I am frequently asked:
Shop Talk I : Sun Flair How do you get your sun flair? There are a few different ways I achieve sun flare. If I'm shooting toward something that has the sun peaking out in spots (like a tree) I will simply move my body around until the flair that I like peeks through. {See example below} 24mm lens | ISO 400 | f 3.5 | 1/200 |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| When I'm shooting a couple in an area that looks good from multiple angles or backdrops, I will photograph them from all angles to get different variations of light. For instance, in a row of vines, I will shoot the couple facing the sun and then walk around them and shoot them against the sun. I get two completely different looks in one spot. Depending on the time of day, When backlighting your couple, you might need to shoot from a higher or lower perspective. I will lay on the ground anytime if it means getting my flair in.
|
| Sometimes a different lens (much like shooting from a different angle) makes all the difference. Using something a little wider will allow you to get more sun in, whereas shooting with a longer lens, will block out that sun and eliminate the flair. I love both looks!
