An Afternoon in the Park…

by on Dec.14, 2010, under Life, Photography

Two of my daughters and I decided to spend the afternoon in a park, taking photos of flowers in the streets nearby and playing on the equipment.

For the following shot we used a scrim (a large white translucent popout circle – part of a reflector kit) to soften the very harsh and bright afternoon sun and also used my Tamron 90mm Macro lens.

NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/320 sec at f / 3.5, ISO 200

For the remaining photos in the park I’d switched to my 70-300mm lens and taken some images playing on the equipment.

NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 122 mm, 1/250 sec at f / 4.8, ISO 200

NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 260 mm, 1/250 sec at f / 6.3, ISO 200

Late in the afternoon some friends from school arrived in the park to make a small movie they were working on for a class project, we helped out with filming and as extras, and also took some portraits of everyone in the very late afternoon (6PM) light.
