Default A natural light portrait with fill flash

I took this pic of my daughter under a canopy of several willow trees. I used some fill flash and it was a cloudy day too so the lighting was good for portraiture. The rest are various flower shots on the grounds.

Patrick what a gorgeous portrait of your daughter. You got the lighting just right !! Love that first flower shot. I have been trying to find some of those in a place that it wouldn't look to strange if I stopped to take pics, but haven't found any yet. All very well done !!

Great shots PJ. All four are a credit to you, sharpness, composition & DOF. Soft light certainly makes it easier. Cheers, Bernz

Bravo, very beautiful. Your daughter is stunning and you did a fabulous job. The flowers are also gorgeous! I love them all but if I had to pick just one, I love the first one best~

I love the portrait Patrick, I sometimes forget to use the flash outside but it certainly worked for this one and she is so beatiful too and your flowers are always so good as you have proved with these. See, you can get great photographs with your kit lens. Great work my friend.

Dave.
