So funny

I don't know what I was doing to make her laugh like that.

But I think she was laughing at me cause I was having trouble getting the reflector to shine on her.

I metered for the sunset/sky and then used a gold reflector to bounce the sunlight back onto her face.

This was the "outtake" but I like the laugh I caught. The posed version is here. http://www.pbase.com/image/48861114

This one is the best with the reflector as a "fill". http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/48862234

It makes you (at least me) feel relaxed just looking at it. This is the sort of picture people don't mind having taken of themself. Nice.

Uhoh James - is that an engagement ring I spy on the fair lady's ring finger?

Not only is her expression more spontaneous and engaging, but the light works better here (fills better) than it does on the original "posed" version. (However, the fill is very nice on the second one you link to, the one you correctly say is the best with the reflector.)

Great capture. I lean toward these unplanned moments more then posed.
