Some shots for the Fall

It's a new season and we have some new pictures to get you in the holiday spirit.

There's some fill flash used here, but it's mostly natural light. We wanted to use a low ISO, so we started at 100. To blow out the background, we used a large aperture so speed was the greatest variable. We eventually bumped up the ISO, because shooting hand-held at 1/30 was causing too much blur. Woot.





Rachel was a good sport about standing still for so long in the wet grass. We are entering this in a photo contest, so wish us luck. Stay tuned for the results.

I wanted to keep the hat, but they wouldn't let me. Rachel processed the photo of us, and I did the others.
