I Love Fall Sunlight

And I really like the nifty-fifty.  I think my next equipment-related business purchase will be the 85mm f/1.8 because I really do like the prime lenses.  Today was the perfect Fall day - partly cloudy, sun breaking through at times, and with the sun fairly low in the sky, the light was just beautiful.  Of course, having super models always helps!

And the girls gave me the perfect excuse to not clean up the leaves that have fallen.

And Fi would like to go on record as saying "she who has the most tennis balls wins".  Who am I to argue with her?

Yup.  She totally wins!

Late Afternoon Light

I've been quite busy with a bunch of stuff, but today I got a few minutes to throw some tennis balls for the girls (well, I always have time for that), and take some photos (which I don't always have time for, these  days).  About a third of the yard was already in shade, and the sun was going behind the mountains, so it made for some interesting exercises with light.

She with the most tennis balls wins, right?

There was also plenty of time for posing.

 

I also played around with sun flares.  This is an area I still want to work on, but I do like the hazy halo effect.  I just need to get better at it!
