Manual, No Flash, ISO 200, SS 1/800, f/2.8
AF-S, Spot Metering
I told myself I wasn't going to take my camera because it was too hot to carry it and pick blueberries, but blueberry picking is so much fun I wanted to have pictures so I brought it along.
Turned out we got there just before the sun rose too high and I was able to get some backlit, sun hazy pictures. Their daddy isn't a fan of this photography style, but I think there are moments when its good.
I realize that in my post-processing I took out a lot of haze, so I don't know if it still has the same dreamy sort of look that it had SOOC.
Of course, once I got home I got some tips on how to get even better SOOC exposure (main thing being blocking the sun from the sensor so that the camera can meter & focus correctly).
post-processing
This time I did all my edits in camera raw, in the Basic tab I changed Blacks, Clarity & Vibrance. I have a bad habit of making any foliage "green", I just can't help myself. I realize that maybe it takes away some of the warmth of the photo - but I prefer it. To achieve that, under the HSL tab, I slid Yellow + 30, then under Sat I took the greens down - 20, and then under Luminescence I dropped the Greens as well.

Love it. I can't decide which one is my favorite! I like the backlighting in the first, but I also like how she's peaking around the branch in the second!
