Lovely Girl, Perfect Weather and Beautiful Setting
Picking Blueberries at Old Orchard Creek
Swansie Shepherd Rd in Little Horse Creek comes alive each summer during blueberry season as people from all over come to pick their own. On July 4th Bernard took advantage of the occasion by capturing his niece in this casual portrait using only natural light. Rather than list here the photographic components that come together in this shot and since all will probably attempt to take similar shots at sometime in the future, it might be a worthwhile exercise for each member to list his/her own ideas as to the various elements that make this shot work. And since the perfect photo is rare (if there is any such), at least one change that would have improved the shot. This could be a mental exercise but it might be better to write your thoughts on a piece of paper or, better yet, put them in a comment for all members to read.
The camera was a Kodak Z915, the shutter 1/320 sec with an aperture setting of f/4.2 zoomed in to 18.8mm (35mm equivalent of 106mm) and the ISO used was 80.
