What??

Uploaded: November 18, 2011

Description

I took this photo with my EF 135mm F/2L lens. I shot in the late afternoon, with bright sun. I used my Circular polarizer, spot metered on the left eye. I was hoping to get a slightly "bleached out" effect, so I shot with +1 exposure. I also shot at ISO 50. Back in the film days I loved "Sub 100 ISO film". I just like the "Feel", and detail of it. I know there is quite a bit of Contrast because of the bright sun light, but I don't know if she would have let me use a diffuser. The next photo in sequence shows a certain "hand signal" with the middle finger. I also converted this to B&W, using a yellow/green filter to reduce some of the facial contrast ISO 50 f/2.2 1/100 sec

Exif: F Number: 2.2, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 50, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 135.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
