Warm Thoughts
* by Ralph Otto

Home

Playing with different lighting, I decided on the garage hallogen work lights in the hallway illuminating only one side with everything else off. I liked the warm tones, so I chose not to modify the color balance. Had to use manual focus, as the autofocus is not accurate in less than perfect lighting.

I love how the skin tones match the chair. Very nice. I also like the expression. I think most would have shot it serious. The warmth of the smile perfectly matches the warmth of the tones. Excellent job! ~ Lonnit

Hi Ralph,

I like the lighting and the pose. The light catches both eyes which I think is more effective. This also screams for black & white. Nice job.
