She waited in the park, at dusk...

There is a story in her eyes.

From part II of my fall foliage shoot with Vicky. This image was actually made as we were packing up and heading out, as the light was just about gone. We had shot here earlier in the evening, but now in the fading evening light with the streetlamps on it had a totally different feel. Not much "fall foliage" feel to it, but it turned out to be one of the best of the shoot!

I threw on my 50/1.8 - had to go to f/2 @iso500 to even get any ambient at all.
the rest of the light was provided by a 580exII in a westcott 28" softbox, on 1/64th power from hard left.
