Fall Colors for background in Portrait

Here is one of the reasons why I do love during Fall Season. I can use the fall leaves as a background for my outdoor portrait and the low light in fall season offers glow result.

Portait Tips: Next time you get out with your kid(s) just around the park; use the colorful leaves for a background and guaranteed you will be pleased with the result.

Her Gaze

Light: Natural   ISO 100   1/30 sec f/5.6   Flash did not fire
Location: Sacramento Zoo, CA

Her gaze is soundlessly commanding me to go away and leave her alone with her nap under the triple digit Fahrenheit temperature yesterday.  “I am happy where am at and don’t disturb”, this Lion sending it to me as she continues to take her nap under the wall of shade.

I took my daughter yesterday at the Zoo as she will be going back to school pretty soon. Summer has been busy for me and my husband that we weren’t able to get out of town. Took her out yesterday for the idea to beat the crowd at weekends. But with all the days, I had picked the hottest days. Despite of that, I was happy to see my 8 years old daughter that she’s actually enjoying going back to the Zoo as loves all about animals. Prior years, she just happy to go in the Zoo and don’t have that much interests on them.

The only thing on summer days when visiting the Zoo is the animals don’t have much interest walking around. They are lazily and happily just take nap and hide. Spring and fall seasons are the best time as each animal are actively roaming around inside their space.

Here is one of the ongoing photoshoot monthly projects with my daughter in the month of May and here is my favorite thus far with all the photos for a reason of her giving me a genuine smile without me asking her.

Warm tone

Model: Isabella O.

Supplemental Elements: f/4.5  1/250s ISO100  50mm   NoFlash

Here is one of the photoshoot I took last Saturday afternoon during our friend’s birthday party as the sun settles down on the horizon at 20 hundred hours.  In front of the house is a vacant lot full of wild weeds turn to brown as the Summer Season approaches. It was unplanned photoshoot and it turned out to be fun.

One of my favorite time of the day for portraiture is when the sun past at noon or late afternoon as the sun gives you the warm tone and not harsh looking on the subject.
