This photo was shot in mid June at 4:30 p.m. If you look at the hot spot on HER LEFT side of her hair you can gauge about how high the sun was. It was roughly in the 1:15 ish position if you think of a sun dial. Since her hair shaded her face this shot worked perfectly so I didn't need a scrim. It's the little things like this that a good photographer must notice in order to make a shot work at any time of day. Thanx for the question Danny. Hi Danny,

It didn't take 50 shots to get this image. I nailed it within the first 10 shots. Heidi and I are friends, I have shot her for some ads and catalogs and I just LOVE shooting her. It was fun and I didn't want to stop shooting because every shot is so amazing. She gives me all of herself. The energy is actually addicting when the photographer and model connect so well. And by the way all Heidi had on for make up was some mascara. She did it herself, she didn't have any foundation on. It was just me and Heidi and my white t-shirt lol. Hi Ron,

Do you remember how many shots it took to come up with your final image? Thanks for the tips!

For a photographer like myself, who has zero to no budget and is still trying to pay off college debts and can't afford three thousand dollar lenses.. its good to know the one decent lense i was able to afford can get some beautiful results, and I'm not the only one who thinks so lol.
