"Having A Senior Moment"©David A. Ziser
Here is an outdoor portrait I did of this high school senior a few years ago. She just wanted a carefree almost model portfolio type portrait out in the fields. No problem, we headed to one of my favorite locations, Aimee wondered into the field, and I took the photograph with the available light present - no flash. There is plenty of light in her eyes and the feel and look of this image worked for her. She loved it!! Did I mention it was only 30 degrees that day and she had to hold her breath so it didn't show in our shot. Camera specs; Canon 20D fitted with 50mm F1.4 lens, F2.5 @ 1/640 second, ISO 800. Enjoy! -David
Great shot, but that poor girl must have desperately wanted that photo to be doing that in 30 degrees! Brr!
ReplyDeleteMr. Ziser,
ReplyDeleteI know that sometimes you shoot higher ISO even when not limited by shutter speed for the purpose of drawing less strobe power (given a particular aperture setting).
In this particular shot though, why chose ISO 800 since no strobes are used, and a slower shutter is realtively "safely" adequate? ie: Why not shoot ISO 200 at f/2.5 and shutter speed of around 1/160?
Thanks!
I look forward to seeing you in Philly.
I love this shot. Looking at it, you could not tell it was shot in cold weather. I will have to remember "Holding breath trick". The B/W conversion is excellent.
ReplyDeleteThat's one helluva shot David. A real winner.
ReplyDeleteexcelent, but why did you setup you 20d on such high iso, when you had plenty of speed to work with?
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze. AND you always get better but you've always been great. How does that work?
ReplyDeleteDavid I want ask youHow far you from your customer. With F2.5 she looks sharp
ReplyDeleteThank you
