Melissa came over this morning. I asked her if she’d be willing to give me about 20 minutes so I could practice some with my flash equipment.
I ended up not using the flash equipment and shot this photo in the living room with ambient north side floor to ceiling window light.
Canon 5d Mark II, 70-200mm lens at focal length 140mm.
f/2.8, 1/30th sec, ISO 320
Now I’m headed back to watching the OneLight off camera flash DVD to see what I was doing wrong.

Melissa allowing me to practice shooting portraits.
Thanks Melissa.
In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
