You will often hear photographers raving about window light -- especially for portraits. Scott Kelby, Joe McNally are among the few who have included examples of portraits taken with this wonderful, soft light. At IDIC Photo we try to leverage window light as well wherever possible. When doing formal portraits at a client's home, we try to setup our portable studio (background stand, muslin cloth background, fill light) near a north-facing window. This casts a beautfiul, warm light that is perfect for head-and-shoulders shots and even 3/4 portraits. An example of a portrait taken using window light (with some bounce flash and a lastolite reflector used for fill) can be viewed at http://www.idic-photo.com/gallery/5120971_hhS2h

OPEN Washington D.C. Chapter's Annual Picnic
I covered the OPEN Washington D.C. Chapter's Annual Picnic yesterday. It was at Lake Fairfax Park in Virginia and it was a HOT (and I mean 100F HOT) day! But still, the picnic was a hit with great food and fun activities for the kids. Check out some photos below converted to B&W in Adobe Lightroom or head over to the gallery at IDIC Photo to view more.
