Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 52, Day 360, April 24, 2010, Bryan

We had dinner with some friends tonight. This is Bryan. He's a great model for photography. He has many great facial expressions.

I like how it looks like there is fire coming from his finger.

Lesson Learned:

Nothing that I can thing of for today. I didn't take a lot of photographs.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/8 sec, Aperture f/2.2, ISO 400, Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 82mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, handheld.

Mike Simmons said...: Nice portrait, Steve. Brian makes a good subject and looks comfortable around the camera. I like this in b&w - the texture of his hair and beard and how he's staring into the lens. The lighting is good too. Did he know he was going to be on the internet? :); April 25, 2010 at 12:27 AM
