Hotter than the Sun
So I’ve got to do a portrait of my nephew tomorrow at the Iron Pigs baseball stadium and I really wanted to experiment with the whole overpowering the sun idea. The concept is to underexpose the photo by about a stop or two and then fill in the exposure using a flash or studio strobe.Continue reading “Hotter than the Sun”
