Fill and balance

In harsh outdoor lighting conditions with sun, a flash can be used to fill in shadows (especially when someone is wearing a hat). At Mizzou’s Speaker Circle, Sustain Mizzou had been collecting donations for local farmers and food. I focused on a girl with a cowboy hat on. I chose this select because part of her face has the fill and there is still definition with what shadow there is. I also like that another Sustain Mizzou member is collecting spare change in the background.

Freshman Meighan Walsh stands on the MU campus Speaker's Circle with a jar of change. "Support local food for local people," Walsh said as students walk by in between classes. Members of Sustain Mizzou spent the day raising money for local farmers and families. "It is really important to me that we buy local food because it's cost effective, supports local farmers, and helps poorer families," Walsh said.

To create the fill under the hat, I crouched down and directed the flash up at her.
