Morning Megan!


Morning Megan!

Natural light portrait of Megan taken on Sunday.

Very overcast grey day which lead to great diffused light coming in the window.

This was taken with the 85mm 1.4 prime on the D300.

The DOF at 1.4 is tiny (you can easily get the tip of the nose in focus, and the eyes blurred!)

I stopped down to 2.8 for this shot, focusing on the eyes. Even at this aperture the hair and chin are starting to go soft - Leaving a lovely 'popping' effect to the face.

I added a slight sharpening effect on the eyes in CS4, using my eye pop technique.

Really pleased with the results.
