Freckles and Me

Description

Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade 2013. It was a horribly sunny morning for people photography. Costume hats were casting shadows over people's faces. and subjects were squinting. This little blue-eyed cutie needed dark glasses to deal with the sun. So it turned into a sort of selfie for me, with my reflection (with fill-flash diffuser glowing) in her shades! Flash fired!


Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 160, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 39.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Way to go, dealing with the difficult sunshine. Makes for interest in both the cutie's portrait and in the reflections. Here in sunny Florida, that's an ongoing problem, and I always hope for clouds and threatening skies. #11246384
