CONTEST: Shoot Outdoors With Natural Light!

Contest, Video Feb 11

This Week’s Contest

This week’s contest theme is shooting outdoors with natural light. That means natural light ONLY! This contest is great for people who don’t own strobes, but you should still enter even if you do. Shooting in natural light is a great way to learn more about your camera and interacting with your subject. You’ll also have the chance to win a free Phlearn PRO Tutorial as well as your choice between two different Lowepro camera bags!

    Shot on Christmas, when a friend of mine dressed like Santa to show up at home for my daughter. We decided to make some shots outside, because the disguise, make up and clothes were really nice and the people around started screaming Santa, Santa. This version is the less edited version.

    I love the colors of this image, the light, but I’d make it more visible in the foreground. I have not worked on this image and would be curious to see what Aaron could do.
