Lighting Craft

Diffused light with saturation tweaked post production to get the lovely Sepia effect.

Finally found some time to do a little bit of experimentation with my photography gear gathering dust since I bought it. A remote flash was the key around which this session was themed. Single light shooting can create some very interesting and artistic results. The arrangement was simple...remote flash in slave mode synced with the camera popup as master on a tripod placed at 45 degree to the subject. The flash fired onto a white umbrella to reflect light onto the subject. I used my reliable 55~250 mm zoom lens at F/4 200 and auto ISO. The room was almost dark with only the pop up and remote flash providing the lighting. Flash exposure compensation is a handy feature in the DSLR and creates a lot of opportunities to play around. Except for minor cropping and playing with saturation and contrast in the black n White images, there is no Photoshop involved. The results speak for themselves

Worth a Try

CANTON ....Located on main 26th Street near the Abdullah Shah Ghazi Mazaar, this exquisitely decorated place offers great tasting Chinese cuisine at a very reasonable price. Right from the greeting at the reception up to the final thank you gestures, this place offers a refreshing and pleasant feel.......The food is good with a wide variety of offerings to chose from ....ambiance is great...and as the place is still being discovered by many...it was quite and cosy...... Worth a Try !!!
