I like the fill light effect and will try to achieve it with software
instead of a folding reflector (which I have somewhere).  I could never
carry anything like that around in the mornings.  With the chicken feed and
eggs and my coffee, I run out of hands in a hurry.  I thought about
cropping it but wanted to leave the old chicken house door in the shot.

Thanks!

Tina
