Favorite Photo Friday: Portrait
My favorite photo taken this week is this portrait of a young man who'll be a freshman in high school this fall. He's at that age when sometimes he's an angel and sometimes, well. . . . In other words, your typical teen. This was taken with a Nikon D5000, ambient light in a dim parking garage on auto ISO (1600) 70 mm focal length aperture at f/11 exposure time 1/50th of a second white balance set for shade. If I were doing it again, I'd set the ISO at 200 and then alter my settings and shoot at about 1/20th of a second in ambient light so the photos weren't so grainy, but I actually had forgotten that I had set the camera on auto ISO. I'll have a chance to reshoot on Monday when I take portraits of his older brother. I just hope that graffiti artists don't paint over this great background by then.
