Natural Light Portraits

Sometimes, you don't always have your trusty speed-light with you and just have to go with what you got. The young boy in the top photo is a perfect example. Had I filled in his shadow side with flash I would have change the mood and look of the photo. With the woman below had I used a little fill flash I believe she would of slapped me upside my head seeing how she was only three feet from me and not in a very good mood.

Buffalo Milk

Not as easy as it looks

Now, lets try that again

Way out in the boonies of Colombia, near the town Puerto Salgar, there is a lot of rich farmland. So rich, not only for planting crops, but for highly prized Buffalo milk and cheese. I came across this farmer who was milking his Buffalo's for the morning  and ask if I could take some photos of him milking his herd. Better yet, how about a photo of me learning how milk these highly prized animals.
