This Canada Day, I did the event photography for a friend who has a large block party in his backyard every July 1st. He supplies all the food, hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken wings, salad, watermelon, mussels and it's BYOB. He does it as a promotion for his company and is well attended with over 100 guests. There is a live band and Karaoke.
The problem is the contrasty light, that even a bit of flash can not solve. The back yard is mostly in shade with patches of bright, bright sunlight. Despite those problems and the severe highlights, I rather like this portrait.
