Last week, I decided to intentionally take pictures of my sister under natural light because....Do I need a reason? I just felt like it, say I was in the zone. I got inspired, and I wanted to experiment a little bit with natural light, distance and elements, although I think we've only caught a little bit of sunshine this time. But Oh well! Here are the pics!

Test shot: SUCCESS. I didn't mind the bluer appearance. I love colors. |

Props, expression and depth of field |

a vibrant personality that matches the vibrant background |

light as the background, to create a softer effect and visible silhouettes |

Just purely raw. |

An out of focus picture that works. I call this photo: "The girl with the golden hair." |

Sorry for the noise. :( light as the background, to create a softer effect and visible silhouettes |

Outfit shot, of course! |

Accessories shot |

A high-angle shot. Btw, the grass felt like carpet. |

Exposure and shadows. What I'm trying to achieve with this and the few next shots is the bokeh effect of the background. This is a low-angle shot. |

The sun was already down, I had to adjust the exposure and take away some shadows off here face. I haven't figured this kind of lighting yet. |

The moon peaks and the waters reflect the trees |

Enlarged: my favorite photo of this set. :) (low-angle and depth of field, manually adjusted the setting on the camera, totally unedited) |
Just for laughs/outtakes :D

She actually thought this was a good pose. |
 |
A stole shot. Used a twig I picked up to imitate a bird's eye view. |
 |
Not quite a smile eh? |
 |
She got tired already and gave a goofy face. |

Her idea, she said it the "aspiring Olympian" pose. |
