Window Light is Beautiful Light

[Rocco]

So, in anticipation of getting my PCB Einsteins, I have been experimenting even more with light sources that I haven't really utilized before. One of my New Year's resolutions was to become a student of light, as well as a proficient strobist.

Recently I have been completely hooked on using large windows as a light source. And by that I mean deliberately sitting my subject down close to a window and posing them for the desired affect.

This one is of my oldest daughter Emily. I wish I had used my speedlite for fill.. if only to get some sort of catch light in her eyes.
