Sunrise, Red Swing Coat

[idcanyon]

240mm, f/6.3, 1/250. Ambient is two stops under. Flash in a portable softbox, too far/small to look soft. I wish I had fill on her face, though I'm really happy to not have fill on the coat (love the flowing shadows). I realize there's brush in the way at the bottom. I couldn't find a clear path at this direction/distance (~15 meters). I'm just glad it isn't covering the best part of the coat.



This is shot using the Tamron 150-600 "Tamzooka". Its really for sports but its showing usefulness as a portrait lens in some circumstances. Too bad its such a beast to carry around. I had a plan for a shot at 600mm involving the full moon in just the right place just after sunrise. Unfortunately the clouds didn't cooperate. Oh well. You don't get the lady all dressed up early in the morning and then not make the most of it.

Nicely done; I might try this as a 4:5 crop to get rid of some of the empty space at each end and a little work on the skin tones, especially in the face would make it that much stronger.
