This is just a sunny day and I waited till the sun is setting. That is how I get nearly all my shots.....just after sunset. The little girl was shot in the dark, hence the 1600 (or 3200) ASA. But you are from England?!!! It is I who envy you the soft light that you have most of the time.....but only when taking pictures, of course. Other times I prefer a bit of sun. I think I really like this digital lurk. Saves a lot of time scanning and correcting colour. I have found, too, that to get a big enlargement, I really only need to add grain or noise as a last step and the "digital" look is converted into an analogue look. I'm becoming a convert. By the way, I have visited your site and absolutely love your personal work. You seem to have an ability to pull an image out of the most mundane situations. Very nice.
