Melina and the backdrop.

francisbedard2002 has added a photo to the pool:

First try with an improvised backdrop.

-Canon 430 ex at 50mm, 1/2 power, shot through umbrella, slightly to the right.
-Canon Rebel XT, Canon EF 50 1.8 : F11, 1/125, ISO400.

I'll try that again with an outfit that does not clash so much next time!
