		An old entry, a bird under trees ... I chose it partly for the spot of light highlighting the beak area.

 Shoot in RAW, restore highlights, hope for the best.  |   
 
 *Blush* I keep forgetting that I CAN now! (My example was with my S2 IS)
 I haven't been, because of only having 1gig cards and they fill up awfully fast, but I just bought a 4gig so I'm good to go :D
 
 Any other tricks/suggestions/things I need to learn reallllllly fast? |

		Can this be considered as dappled light or there has to be many light streams ?
  
 It's a fairly new concept to me so i m curious |

 I don't like to be pedantic, but it should be 'its' not 'it's'!

 I would bet your absolutely driven to the edge when you see "your" instead of "you're".  I don't think there are more than 5 people on the Internet who know the difference. I feel you're pain.

 testing how many see it? .
 
 My wife would be good at this challenge since she never pays any attention to things like that when taking a picture lol.  She was doing some senior pics for a friends daughter and the place she had her standing had tons of shadows across her face.  She was surprised how much better the photo was when I held a reflector up and blocked it more. |

		| It's supposed to be rainy and cloudy here all weekend. Hopefully it will be sunny on Monday so I can get some shots for this challenge. |

 Does it necessarily have to be SUN light???  Think outside the box..... |

		This is a scan of my daughters, taken about 20 years ago. I think it conveys the effect of dappled light to suit this challenge:
 
  
 
 Hope that helps explain:) |

		| A description of  "dappled light". In essence, the leaves of trees form temporary tiny "pinhole cameras" that project the image of the sun on a subject or object. |
