Julie (128) - Ian bemused by the entire day


Three portraits flagging progress: the two smaller ones were made earlier in the day and show poor use of light and over-exposure. The feature portait was made just prior to lunch using natural light flooding in from an east facing window.
F4.5, 1/80, ISO 400, 84 mm


F5, 1/320 (1/640 for the RHS), ISO 400, 84 mm

Were you on manual or did the camera set the exposure. The lighting is really good in the top one.

I have been on Manual 99% of the time since that first session with Michaela about 3 weeks ago!

I stuff it regularly - but try to take it again and learn from it. The hardest thing is to choose the F-stop to get the whole sequence started. But I am enjoying it more and more now that I have just this tiny bit of knowledge. Yes, I know a little knowledge can be dangerous ...

Everything I took at the SWF and down around Millers Point was all taken on Manual. I have switched over completely now.
