Belle of the Ball

Nikon D70 @ 22mm, 1/30 sec, f/3.8, ISO 200

Well, it was my girlfriend's grad ball tonight... the main reason I bought the SB-800. And I have to say, it performed very well - I definitely feel better at having spent so much money on it!

This shot was taken after the meal, just as the sun had gone down. Love the results.

Mathias said...: Seshu, It looks like John is nice enough to leave all the exif information untouched in the published images.

John, this one is as amazing as usual. I'd be interested to know a little about your method. Was this another underexposed picture with flash to make the object "pop"? It's a wonderful picture.; 1:42 am, July 02, 2005
John said...: Hey guys. Sorry for being a little slow in replying and updating.

A little more info... well, it was getting pretty dark at this point in the night, and so that probably added a little to the effect. Now, I shot this in manual, so I'm not enitrely sure what the ambient light would have read, but I'm guessing that it is perhaps a stop underexposed. I used the SB-800 in TTL mode and set it to -1/3.

However, I did do a little PP on this shot. The colours were fairly muted to begin with, but I desaturated the background a little more. I also added a vignetting effect to the shot which gives it that slight spotlight effect.

Hope this helps a little. Cheers for visiting again guys.; 12:16 am, July 04, 2005
