Nikon D90, 35mm 1.8 - shot in RAW
Manual, No Flash, ISO 200, SS 1/1250, f/3.2, spot metering
In photography class this week, we talking about light a bit and how to use flash photography in certain situations. I am still quite unsure about the whole process and need to spend a lot more time with a lot more willing models. One other assignment was to put a subject in a window and make sure we properly exposed for their skin. I've been wanting to try a silhouette for a long time so I did the opposite. I actually need stronger backlighting to get a perfect silhouette so expect to see this little exercise repeated when we can get out in the evening with the setting sun. Ideally they would be completely blacked out, but in some respects I like being able to see just a hint of their faces.

I enjoyed looking through your photos Sarah. Your class looks very interesting and useful also. Which one are you doing? Mine is a distance learning course called Art of photography and there are 5 assignments. I'm already late with assignment 1!
