Low key portrait for my get-pushed challenge. My friend Arwen @hiarwen2 sent me a link about low key photography this morning...which almost made the girls late for school. Anyway, I was so excited to try it. When I got home I walked in the back door and saw the dark stairwell to the basement so I grabbed my camera and a flashlight (you are right @amandal the flashlight is too bright so I covered it a little) and took a couple of selfies. I love the shadow on the wall. I loved this one in black and white but there is a colour one in my other album here. http://365project.org/edie/faves/2013-05-29
This is the link Arwen sent http://photo.tutsplus.com/tutorials/lighting/the-complete-beginner%E2%80%99s-guide-to-shooting-low-key/
It made me realize my shot of Jaci is closer than the hot chocolate one to actual low key.
I'm fascinated you used such a high ISO and so on. I think my attempts haven't allowed enough light.
Great job!
