Day 21 of 365

Today I made M my subject as I tried out a new photo method. 
Instead of expensive reflectors sold as photo equipment, 
I bought sunshades normally used for the car. 
You know, those big shades you put in the windshield 
so your car doesn't get too hot while it is parked. 
M held the sunshade low to reflect the light from the window onto the dark side of her face
 for a lovely portrait. 
I will definitely be trying this again.

  6. A white bed sheet around a board is also very good to use as a reflection board.
    More light makes so much difference in a picture.
    This one you took from M is the proof.
    Very nice picture Sharon.
