This is how we harden up the kids in Togher, feed them rocks :lol:
Taken with 7D, 17-40 f4, 1/200th f11, ISO200
I was playing with fill in flash and dialing down the flash (on camera popup :oops: ) exposure compensation for this shot and I knda like the way it turned out. Bottom version hasn’t too much done to it but I played with the levels in LR3 for the first 1 and love the way it turned out.
I think both are very good.
By posting 2 versions you have me scrolling up and down and trying to
decide which is best.
It’s hard to know although #2 looks a little more natural, processing wise, and
I suspect the colours may be closer to reality.
That said I agree with Jenny re #1 having a felling of images from earlier times.
The composition and exposure look very good and the subject looks relaxed and natural.
I always wonder if a portrait like this would be improved if the subject was looking into the lens…..
