The early evening light illuminates the profile of this diner in a Chinese restaurant as she sips a cup of tea. Using my spot metering mode, I exposed for the highlights in this image, allowing the balance of the photograph to fall into the shadows that surround the diner and the translucent decorative frosted panel mounted on the back of her booth. The restrained light creates a subdued mode, a perfect match for a relaxing cup of tea marking the end of a satisfying meal.
