Last week, we were blessed with good weather for an in-town photo shoot for the investment firm, Long Wharf Investors. The morning was bright and sunny - the only dry day all week!
We had a full agenda as we were trying to take portraits of each principal as well as candids of them walking around the square and other shots, too. Thank goodness the weather cooperated!
We started at 7 AM and enjoyed the beautiful early morning light. As the morning progressed, we took environmental portraits in Post Office Square, as well as some shots in the firm's conference room.
After we were done inside, I wandered around Post Office Square to photograph details of the square which might be useful for their website.
I also took an overhead image of the square from the fifth floor of one of the nearby buildings. The sun was high enough to cause bright hot spots in certain areas. Exposing properly for the buildings left the shadows in the park too dark. Exposing properly for the shadows made the buildings too bright.
I was able to implement some High Dynamic Range techniques and processed the same image for both the highlights and the shadows. I darkened the sky and buildings and brought up the shadows in the park and the result is shown here. This technique produces images more similar to what the human eye sees in these contrasty situations.
The Long Wharf principals were fun to work with and I was pleased with all the great photos we took. Make sure to check out their new website once it's up and running, hopefully later this summer (http://www.long-wharf.com/).
