“Dancin’ In The Sunlight”

Here is an image made from one of our “Trash The Dress” sessions that I discuss below.  Back in the day, we called it our “Bridal Pictorial” session.  It rained on the bride’s wedding day and time was limited.  Only by scheduling the post wedding day shot about two weeks after the wedding could we have gotten this kind of imagery.  The weather was perfect, the time of day was perfect, and the fact that we got a great sunset sure didn’t hurt either. We probably picked up a grass stain here and a bit of soil there, but who cares, my client got a great set of images. Lighting was from camera left with the flash balancing the sunset for the best effect. Yes, the shot was also made with my fisheye lens – just think of this week being “fisheye week” here at DPT;~)  Camera specs; Nikon D1x fitted with Nikkor 16mm Fisheye lens, F5.6 @ 1/320 second, ISO 640.  Enjoy!  -David
