Good morning, Adi
What a wonderful shot with the reflections and low key.
A FAV!
It's a good thing that we did not make arrangements to get together on Friday since I ended up getting a bogus $100 parking ticket and going to City Hall to fight it.
It took two hours of my time but it was waived. Ottawa is really nasty with their parking and I think they make a small fortune on tickets!
I am so looking forward to being your get pushed partner for the week. You are such an accomplished photographer.
Hopefully this challenge will be new to you.
I had to do a lot of shooting in a dark situation where I was not able to use a flash. I messed up by keeping my ISO as low as possible and under-exposing the shots.
I learned that it is better to push your histogram to the right in a situation like this.
I found a YouTube tutorial that explains it nicely.
His recommendation is to Expose To The Right in high ISO situations and then reduce exposure in ACR. He stresses the need for sharp focus and no blur. So use your histogram to push the f stop and shutter speed to where you are happy that things will be sharp if focussed properly and use whatever ISO is needed to achieve ETTR.
ETTR: Cameras capture bright parts of the exposures because of their limitations in the settings. To remove shadows, photographers change the exposure and then the image becomes brighter in the image. As a result, we get an image more vivid from the right and darker on the left.

So your challenge is to try this in a low light setting and experiment.
