Week One finished of my personal monthly challenge: to frame all my shots vertically. My goal is to develop an eye for balance when taking photos in portrait orientation.
More experimenting with super high ISO setting (6400) in a very dark room. Trying to figure out when I do and don't like the graininess. In this case, turns out not quite this much. Especially on the face because it is also blurred from motion.
Played around with a technique I read about today for dodging and burning using 10% opacity brush (white and black) painted on to an overlay layer. Pretty powerful touch up. Now it is going to take much more practice to finesse it.
This photo is part of this week's Camera Settings Challenge: Self-Portrait.
