iStockalypse Tokyo Portrait of Me

Take in the last hour on the last day by a stellar photographer in our group (Steve Cole), this photo exhibits why his $40,000 camera is better than mine.  If I had taken this photo without a reflector, the backlighting would have destroyed any detail on the front side of Rina and me.  But his awesome 40mp sensor (which produces 120mb files) has high dynamic range, so it can process both the highlights and the shadows very well.

Rina is just my friend, but this would be sort of an awesome 'couple' shot.
