The Story Behind the Photo:
December 2021: Best of 2021
by Sherri Humble
Photo taken with: Sony AR4, 1/160 sec at f/2.8, ISO 800, with a FE 24-70 lens
Kathy C, Lyn M, Molly and I were on a photo weekend at the Olympic Peninsula. During the non-daylight hours, we decided to play with our cameras in our hotel room to see what we could capture for the upcoming Film Noir assignment. Molly, being Molly, of course brought costumes for the photoshoot.
We rearranged the furniture and pulled a desk out away from the wall. With drapes closed, we turned out all the lights except for my NEO II light with no modifier. We had Molly sit on the desk and experimented with the light at different heights and angles, as she tried a variety of poses.
Post processing on this image was done in Lightroom, which included removing some noise in the photo, and turning down the highlights just a bit, then converting to black and white.
