I'm still learning my new camera and having a ball! I was working with a

strong back light (sun coming through a window) and my close up filter

set. I'm actually pretty pleased with this shot. Thoughts and comments

would be appreciated!

 

Thanks for looking....

The backlighting is ok, but the shadowing isn't effective IMHO. I would suggest a reflector myself, you can make one with crumpled aluminum stapled to cardboard or get a fold up one.

 

Also the twist ties in the background are a major distraction.

Avery,

 

Many thanks for looking!

 

Douglas,

 

I appreciate your comments. Truthfully, I hadn't noticed the twist ties - but you're right- now they are all I see!

 

I was more interested in trying the close up filters so wasn't very concerned about the shadows, but I love your idea for a reflector. Next time we have a sunny day, I'll try it.

 

Thanks

 

Diane
