At the Portraiture and Presence opening at Gallery RFD in Swainsboro. The gallery directors are really doing a great job down there, and I'm not just saying that because I won!

I am running with the every day project. Sometimes they are not so good, sometimes very interesting. This is 2" at f/4. You can see how the flash side of my face is sharp, but the side under constang tungsten light is slightly blurred. I think this is an interesting effect.


The tungsten light is a lamp with a mesh cowboy hat covering it. The light shines through the pattern of the hat, making the beams. I had to move further from the wall and point the flash 90 degrees with a rigged bounce card (old paper and rubber band) to get the shadow to soften up.

I am intrigued.
