I had a choice to use either the 24-70mm lens to have a tighter frame and focus on Christabel’s lovely face. Or I could use a 12-24mm wide angle lens to have it more dramatic sky and make Christabel as a “compliment” to the scenery. Either way worked fine with me.

Working with children means I have short window of opportunity and need to work fast to attract their attention. Hence I truly respect those photographers who specialise in children portraiture.

I was in a dilemma, I actually wanted to take this shot at a smaller aperture like f/9 or f/11 to have a deeper depth of field. But at that aperture in such shaded area, in order to handhold the camera at small aperture, I gotta use a high ISO, or I gotta use a slower shutter speed which very likely would produce a blur image.
