Day 282/365 SP Manual Focus With Existing Light

by Andrea Petersen

Uploaded 30 Oct 2009 — 6 favorites

God, commanded the light to shine out of the darkness...
II Corinthians 4:6
----------------------
I am practicing existing light on this portrait..It was cold, and windy outside so I decided to do this SP inside the house where it was warm. The only lights that I used were the dressing table lamps and a light on the ceiling. I am reading an old issue of Reminisce Magazine. Some of the stories are rather interesting of days gone by with pictures, etc.

Manual Focus
F/ 4.5
shutter speed 1/20 sec
ISO 720.
42 focal length.

In the Self Portraits photo essay.

What a perfect magazine to be perusing for this shot! Together with the low lighting make a lovely sepia effect, albeit with a little color.

The lighting is wonderful, and gives a vintage look that goes really well with your theme. Excellent work, Andrea. You have gotten to be a real expert in staging and shooting your SPs.
