Re: PUG Commentary: Bill Peifer
Bill Peifer asked, in regard to my PUG submission, "Amy," Can you tell us where you positioned the > reflector with respect to the subject. High, low, to her front, to her > left, etc? Hi Bill, Thanks for the comments regarding my PUG submission. The reflector was facing the subject. It was positioned to the left of and slightly below the camera. The sun was behind and above the model on the right of camera, so it shone directly into the reflector. And I would certainly like to see your other shots of the memorial.

Position so that the green sign with white writing "disappears" because it's "edge on" to the camera. Get close enough that the boy's photo and the white sign with black writing are obviously the subject, and with the line of the toy-filled fence clearly the background or secondary subject. Try to get enough DOF to get the picture, sign, and toys all in focus, or maybe the toys just starting to soften up. This looks like one Bill might be able to try again.
