Dinner and a Photo

August 30, 2010

Well, a few really! Our favorite Thai restaurant has this cool upholstery in their booths. I had been wanting to use it for a background. This last time, we sat in the round booth. The sun was setting to my right, and thus very low on the horizon, coming in through the window. There were a few overhead lights. Lighting was kind of tricky. I shot these at f/2.8 and high ISO of 5000, no flash, just ambient and restaurant lights. I am pretty pleased with the result.

Port Hole…

The simple pleasures of childhood… I wish we as adults could get so easily amused by such simple acts or objects…

A Quick Portrait

June 20, 2010

Sabi was rushing out the door to go to college and I wanted a quick portrait. I tried using the overhead skylight as my main light and a round silver reflector underneath for clam shell type beauty lighting. I am quite pleased with the result.

Photo Info: Natural light with reflector fill from underneath, Nikon D700 + Nikkor 24-70mm, ISO 1400, f/4 @ 1/160s.
