It's going to be interesting trying to coax that look out of
him again for a more in focus pic with a better background.
Re: the exposure, did it come out as more of a side lit
effect with most of his face in darker shadow? Or was it more
flat?
Just curious if, when he moved forward, the lighting changed
to a more dramatic look than I was after for his portrait.
Take Care,

Sigh ... alas, I'll have to revise my notes and say that
ALMOST everyone who saw it wanted a copy ...

Actually, the cam was in autofocus mode, single shot
autofocus.
However, you do raise a valid point. Had the cam been set to
AI Server autofocus, it might have reacted quickly enough to
follow him.
When shooting portraits, I normally use single shot AF mode;
I may have to rethink that when shooting animals...
Thanks for that comment.
Take Care,

I guess it's side lit from above and to the right, with a fold under his
eye casting a shadow and a shadow in his ear. The whole mouth area is
just black, as are the eyes. >> Stay informed about: Mean Mich |
