Megan by the window




I have been taking photos of my kids inside our house in natural light by different windows. I've been also reading Mike's thread about lighting. This photo was really a 'test' photo as I was trying out different windows and different distances away from each window. If I get much further away from the window which is facing south, my photos always are too dark.

My daughter's hair is a mess and I know there is a composition problem with cutting off her arm (!) but I'm primarily interested in her face. I see highlights and many ranges of value.

I want to do a portrait of my daughter leaning against a wall and introduce some type in the background. Of course, I'm keeping open minded and this could change, but that is my 'vision' right now.

Thank you in advance for any comments,

Joan
