Cross and Candle

Uploaded: October 26, 2011 07:41:42

Description

I braced the camera on top of a nearby pew and took this one. I think that I used the bottom of the table for my mid-gray but I honestly don't remember. But I like the way the background is much darker than the cross and candle - making them stand out more. I had to bring my ISO way up - can't remember exactly what I used but know that it was very high - so that I could even get this one without a flash (not allowed to use in the church). The shutter speed was still slower than I could do it totally handheld - the reason for placing the camera on top of the pew.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 5000, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 170.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300
