Photo of the day: Megan on the beach

Megan on the beach, a photo by The Bacher Family on Flickr.

Here she is, the lovely Megan Boulton! Of all the photos we shot together, these are my favorite: barefoot on the beach in a scarlet dress. I made a fortuitous decision when I took these: I metered on Megan's face and ignored the blown-out background. That way, she's in proper exposure, and the brilliance of the day surrounds her with light.
