Challenge: Color Studio Portrait III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D50

Aperture: f/2.2
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250

Date Uploaded: Sep 27, 2008

 The studio is my living room, to set it up I twisted the blinds to let the most light in and then I held a reflector balanced in my left hand. tripped the shutter with the infrared remote. I turned on a light in the corner of the room to get the greenish tint on the wall.

Thanks for the comment Oliver, this shot started out as a test to see how the light was in my living room with a reflector. I didn't think I would enter it so didn't try expressions just sat in front of the camera. I even cut off my head because my hair wasn't combed. hehe.

Week 2 of not reading any threads on what challenges are about. You should try it! :)

This was what I took the next day with the same light setup.

Well after the comments you received maybe you should re-title this Hottest DPCer with the lamest expression. :P

Really well lit, good crop too. It's a very honest portrait, right up front, not hiding anything. Pretty coloured eyes too.

Cool, but looks like window light instead of studio light.
