This past weekend I drove up to Temecula California to photograph some family portraits. It's about an hour's drive north of San Diego and a pretty pleasant drive - especially on a Sunday afternoon. I arrived on time and ready to dive into the shoot -- but the boys (two typical teenagers) didn't take the idea of being camera ready too seriously. Since it was the first day of daylight savings, I knew I would be losing light pretty quickly but all I could do wait. Fortunately even though the sun had dipped behind the mountains by the time we got started - there was still a lot of available light to shoot with.
I used my 35mm lens and shot these images at F4. I wanted the background to go out of focus, and not distract from the subject matter. Shooting in available light is always something I strive for because it makes for more natural, flattering portraiture.
The only enhancements I had to make to these images was to add an 81K warming filter in Kubota Protools. I loved that this great location was steps away from their house. If only location scouting were always that easy!
