From other posts its easy to see that this guy is a proponent of privatized water. Water is a commodity now and no longer a public utility which everyone has fair access to. As he has responded in the question below, there is nothing an average citizen can do.

"Aggies" will decide the future and water will go to the highest bidder. Nestle, Monsanto, etc. Will decide who does and does not get water and he is saying it openly in the thread. You think citizens united is bad? You think net neutrality is important? Wait til some corporate think tank decides there's not enough water for the plebs. And this guy is the "scientist" defining all the talking points right here and now. Don't like it? What are you... "anti-science"?

It's backlit from the right so the sun is creating the flare on the right. This would usually silhouette the subjects in the foreground so there might be a fill/key keeping both women lit well from the front. The light would probably be diffused to give it a "soft" feel (and you can see diffused lights in other shots). I would say the lens would have to be longer than 50mm because the black haired chick is in focus while the makeup girl out of the focal plane (longer lens gives you a more shallow depth of field). They are using Canon 5d's which you can see in other shots.
