Faces of Sudan
Saturday, June 14th, 2008
The Big Picture has yet another incredible collection: Faces of Sudan.
Note to photographers: check the light on the second image (and others like it). Lots to be learned from these images. Never be disapointed in a cloudy sky, especially when there is sun out illuminating your subject. It’s the perfect setup for subject isolation, even if you’re not shooting wide open. It adds drama. This shot is relatively deep focus yet the light on the woman with the bowl makes her stand out against the dark sky. Shooting wide open here would have killed the sky, which needs to be in focus to show the clouds.
