Little Lady Of The Lake

Uploaded: August 15, 2007

Description


Used the sunset as directional light from the right in order to get the lake as the backdrop. I stood in the lake to take the photo, nervous about my lens taking a dip in the water!! My daughter is sitting in a weathered old canoe (which she wanted to spend the whole vacation in) held steady by my husband. Would like to have shot this with the sun behind me but that would have meant deckchairs, towels and logs would have dominated the background!
1/500, f2.8, 200mm, sunset

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/500, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 400, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 200mm, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D
