WINTERLIGHT IN MODELLING OR ANY SORT OF PHOTOGRAPHY


The guy is my grand son...I USED HIM HERE AS A MODEL,HE JUST MOVING AROUND ON HIS OWN, while I went on clicking...This is the effect of winter lighting which spans in India from October to February, giving contre-jour effect and 3D effect to ur photographs. U can choose any subject, move into the ground or verandah, or any open space having dark or somewhat dark background to bring up the photograph. This light is as good as a spotlight effect which can be achieved in a studio too. But to give the picture natural look, I wud like to come open in the spaces mentioned above..Here the precaution will be to shadow the lens from direct sun. Besides using a long focal length lenth will make the model comfortable, giving better out of focus background.Also keep in mind the aperture being used. On long focal length lenses it can be better f8 or f5.6, I mean to say using a 70-200,or 70-300mm lens. Using tripod will help if the shutter speed is below 1/250 for such lenses. One thing I wud make clear...use any camera, any lens, but do not miss the opportunity provided by nature free of charge, keeping urself well in shadow.
