I often take one of my cameras on walks around the city center and today was no exception but instead of my D800 I took a lighter lower res D7000 who many say is obsolete. I don't. Although there are newer cameras with more features It still can deliver. I had a chance meeting with a rather attractive very feminine girl as we both exited a small park. The sun was very direct and casting long hard shadows. She asked for photo and I could not turn her down;>) After this we continued on to a nice outdoor cafe and enjoyed each other's company the rest of the afternoon. I suspect I will be taking lots more photos of Marina in the near future:beguiled:
Seeing the hard shadows on face I moved her just a foot so her face was in shade and used a remote SB900 speed-light for fill in BL mode. By using Manual exposure set 3 stops low for her face and let the background and her top overexpose to get a bit of High Key look. The lens is the 85 1.8G using aperture 2.0, ISO 200 and 1/640 of a sec. shutter. I am posting it because so many people rush out to buy newer cameras when their old one still can deliver good images,you don't need fancy gear or complex lighting.
