Shaft of light SP

Friday 11th February 2005 - Day 55

Is this too scary?

This isnt easy you know! Try smiling for 10 seconds.... I had this sort of image in mind, all I had to do was hunt around for the right location in the house... ended up propping myself up under the window, its not quite what it seems though, because I had to use a daylight balanced anglepoise lamp to get enough light, then adjusted the WB to get the warmth back. The glint in the eye was a bonus.


other sizes: small medium large auto

I love the fact that you're so creative with your lighting! Makes for some very interesting shots!

I like photos that lead you beyond what's pictured to imagine what might be happening or going to happen. This is one of them. Sparked my imagination. Very nicely done, Lee.

Lee, I like the moody look to this. The tones are warm but there is a lot in this image that sparks imagination.

This almost appears like as if you stand at a door, it is slightly open and you are:::quiet voice::watching me. Scary, but very cool. I love the low light effect in this and the mood it leaves us with.

The mood is scary and I really like that glint in the eye!
