Nathan- Portraits with a gorgeous Alaskan Backdrop

[DanOstergren]

The scenery in Ketchikan is absolutely gorgeous, and make quite a nice backdrop for some natural light portraits. This is Nathan, who is an extremely talented photographer and dancer.

All images captured in natural light with an EOS 5D Mark I.

And a black and white version of the last one. I like them both, so I thought I'd include it.

Very nice.

I think a little fill flash or reflector might have gone a long way.

Great set! But I really like the last one, that is the one that is in color.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you. Yeah, that's my favorite from the set as well.

No C&C from me, just a question. Why the fast shutter speed?

No particular reason. I was just adjusting the shutter speed based on the light/ situation.

Then why 400 iso instead of lower? Is that your sweet spot for the mki?

 

[TrolleySwag]

BTW I love the pics.

The last one in color for me as well...

I like the extra light sensitivity from shooting at higher ISO speeds.

Definitely a gorgeous Alaskan against a lovely backdrop. I like the series including the color and B&W versions.
