Weekly Assignment #134: High Noon Shooting

Nikolai

This one is simple:

• high noon;
• try to select a cloudless day;
• no hiding in a shade;
• use the sun as your hair/rim light;
• use a reflector (or a windsdhield cover, or a white t-shirt, of a poster board, etc.) as a fill;

And get us a nice daylight portrait! :-)

Does an hour or so before your post count as "archive"? 'cause I was out doing this very thing, today.

Technically, it does count . You need to be aware of the assignment to do it. Otherwise it's no better than last year archive... Sorry...

My fellow photog/model says, "Hmph."






Fair enough. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

Oh, that High Noon. I thought we'd be taking pictures of cowboys having gunfights at the dusty old corral.

If it's a high noon and sun is in proper position, and you can use something as a reflector (white horse?) - by all means, do the "OK Corral" version. Just remember, those 10 gallon hats cast a very deep shade, so you have to have a really nice reflector :-)
