Ok so I was looking back through last weekend's photos and realized I like these two shots a lot, but I don't know how to deal with the harshness of the lighting. In the first, I can see clear through the window. How do you expose to blow out what's outside without blowing out her dress? I shot with no flash and just ambient... should I have slowed it way down and used flash?
(PS both are way sharp in original form, I've resized greatly for web. At least I nailed a couple, yay me, lol. Ok, I almost nailed it for the group. Dang.)
And there there is this one. I love the group dynamic but it was a blustery day outside, lots of random clouds/scathing sun/wind/hailstorms, you name it. (kinda typical Calgary day) I know this could have been better lit, but I don't know how. Thoughts?
