On Saturday we met Bjorn and Karien at the Botanical Gardens in Pretoria for their e-session. The weather was typical for Pretoria at ths time of year – hot and bright with extremely harsh light even at 4 p.m.! We kept to the shade for the most part and got some wonderful pictures for them before ending up at our favourite little grassed platform and water feature for the last photos of the day.
These first two were taken early in the afternoon when we were still keeping to the shade. We used a flash shooting through an umbrella to give us some nice warm light in the shade. I’m really happy with the results – we’re getting better and better at this of-camera flash thing.
These last two were taken later on when the sun had dropped a bit. No flash here, just a bit of reflector to fill the shadows.
Thanks B & K – we’re looking forward to the big day!
