My GF wants me to do a photo for her Christmas card this year.
The idea is to have her Great Dane sitting or lying down in front of her lite fireplace.
A lot of the photography I do is outdoors in bright daylight. And I'm definitely not a pro. I will be using my D80 with the standard 15-55 lens.
I want the picture to be warm with the low natural light, of course. But how should I handle it with the fire? bigger/smaller aperture?
any tips for this kind of lighting situation?
pic not related. but its mine.
