Can you tell me what types of settings you were using on your camera for your siggy pic?  (Or in general, for an "into the sun" type of shot?)

I just got my Rebel T1i and I'm so thrilled to be getting back into photography (I used to be a film SLR gal in college-but this is a new ball-game with digital!)

TIA!

    Sure! I'll tell you my exact settings when I get home from work.

    Ashley's settings will only be helpful if the light you're using is very similar, you know? :) Happy shooting!

    Thanks, Gals!!!

    After I posted this I thought that I should have included you, too, Morgan!!!

    Okay, here's my settings:

    SS: 1/2000, F/1.8, ISO 100

    It was actually a bit underexposed, I could have definitely upped my ISO or lowered my SS. I shoot in RAW though so it was an easy fix (though I try to nail in camera rather than fixing it afterward -- I struggle with backlighting though)

    I took this photo around 7:00pm -- my favorite time to shoot this time of year.

    Good luck!  Hope this helped :)

    Thanks so much!  At least it will give me ideas of what to play with =)

    You shoot in RAW?!?!  I'm impressed- that is a ton of work from what I hear!  (But well worth it, I'm sure!)

    I find RAW to be less work as it gives me more control over my images. :)

    Definitely. It's way less work!

    I was so mad at myself because I shot 99% of Morgan's maternity session in JPEG and it took me way longer to edit because I think it's so much faster to edit in RAW than in JPEG in Photoshop.
