I would ask her to not wear white or super pale colors, it's really hard to get them not to blow, and not underexpose everything else. Remember the rule of thirds if you can - you can always crop to it afterwards if you forget, but you do lose some quality if you have to crop too much.
Shoot in RAW if you can. It makes it much easier to correct any over and under exposure issues, and correct white balance if you need to. |
What is the rule of thirds?
eek. Also, you are so right about the white/light colors...I see in a few of the ones of James in full sun, his shirt almost looks like it's glowing. I don't have photoshop yet- I think I need that- for what Michele said...post-processing.
ISn't RAW much larger files? I know my camera does it, I just haven't figured that part out...um, my camera only came wiuth #$%&* French and Spanish Manuals.
Okay, I have some work to do. I will start with your book suggestion, Allison.
Thank you all for your generous advice! I am so glad we have this forum. I have a lot to learn from you mamas
