Description

This one is my favorite. I am not sure if the background is like it should be in any of the photos, but I can tell the difference in the DOF anyway. I have an idea for a background for the next lesson, so maybe they will be better. I had a hard time with the backlight on the brick and also had to use my speedlight. The second light that I ordered did not come in yet - they aren't sure when it will. Any suggetions about what I could have done about the backlight if it isn't right? I used a snoot on the flash.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 190.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
