Day 042 - Gordon's Wine Bar, London

So...date number 2.
We met under the clock at Charing Cross again, and went straight to Gordon's - London oldest wine bar.

We were able to get a table in the cellar, lit only by candle for a key light but also a got little back light from the rest of the bar, which was nice. It was great but I could have tried to get a little more candle light on her face to get rid of the slight 'horror' uplighting.

But, this is how it is in GWB, so I am happy with it. It appears much more orangy originally so I took a little out of the colour balance.

We followed with cocktails in the Sanderson hotel and ate food in the Riding House Cafe.
Another lovely day.

Notice the chocolate in the foreground...didn't last long :)

I think it's cool looking the way it is. I love the lighting and composition here. Great shot!

@istacy1011 Thank you Stacy.

I too like the lighting - adds a little mystery. But chocolate and red wine?

[Florence]

@malc Yes Chocolate and red wine, yum!
It is not the usual portrait lighting, but the result is nice. She still looks happy being on the photo so that's great :)
