Here’s a nice moment captured with a lot of great elements invovled: framing, backlighting, rule of thirds. A technically proper and aesthetically pleasing shot.
Taken with the Nikon D70; f/4 at 1/320s and 50mm focal length.

Written by Eric from http://www.photographybay.com/ on April 12th, 2007 | 1 Comment
