Putting It All Together

May 25, 2010

Today I was shooting some family photographs and I tried to put a bunch of theories together. I was using an ND gradated filter to keep the sky from blowing out, I used a circular polarizer to cause clouds to pop and I used fill flash to keep my subject from being too dark. Here is one of the resulting photographs from playing with all three of these. This was shot at about 5:30 pm when the sun was pretty strong. You can probably note that the ND filter was turned slightly, causing the sky to be a little dark in the upper left which helps direct the eye a little.
