My husband bought me a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D Nikkor lens. I’m pretty excite about it. Can’t wait for some really good shooting opportunities. After an abysmal first shot, which I deleted, I took the shot below. I also used my old speed-light, bounced off the wall. The speed-light was obviously way too bright, but I think it gave an intriguing effect. I really like this photo — I think the over-exposure on the right balances with his dark hair and allows his face to fill the frame without being over-powering. I made a few adjustments to the RAW in Ufraw this evening, but I think I’ll play more with this photo and see what else I can do with it.
I really want to improve my photography. So, if you like my photos, please let me know why. If you don't like them, please let me know what you think would improve them. Thanks!
