Birthday Girl !

Hi this was taken today at a birthday party i move my subject into the light looking for a key light
in the eyes and making eye contact with her by asking her question. This is a simple tip to get a
sparking your subject.

                                     Canon 1 D mark 4   3.5 f-stop 1200 ISO speed 200 sec

This was shot with a mono pod and i used the 70-200mm 2.8 L .


This was shot early in the day at a street party keeping the sun to the left of me i was able to handle the high contrast and using a fast shutter speed to be able to catch the light!
