Family Portrait

I don't often post family shots, but I'm making an exception here!

This is my brother-in-law, also called Phil, taken on holiday a couple of weeks ago. A good portrait captures the essence of the individual and Phil holding a glass of wine certainly captures something of his spirit (groan)!

I love the golden light you get in the evening and this provided a richness to the colours & a rimlight to the edge of Phil's face. I used flash to nicely expose Phil and negative exposure compensation (-1.3 stops) to darken the background a little.

The slightly darkened background with the fairly slender depth of field helps the subject 'pop'.

    If you want to recover lost photos from the Sony digital camera then download the Sony Photo Recovery Software. This awesome tool can easily work with Panasonic, Sigma, Pentax, Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, Kodak, Canon, etc. It can automatically retrieve deleted files and videos so, hurry up use it now.
