Description

One more from a test session with my daughter. She was actually just trying to keep the hair from blowing but it turned out as if she were posing. Something about this one just struck me... she is blessed with such natural beauty, inside and out.

50mm 1.8 lens, ISO 200, 1/5000, f2.2. Turned B&W, colorized for sepia tone, USM in PS.

Thanks for looking!!

Exif: F Number: 2.2, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 10/50000, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 200, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 50mm, Camera Model: NIKON D200
