Lamplight Portrait


Photo Information
Shot hand-held in extremely low light, with a Takumar 135mm f3.5 set at it's widest aperture, ISO 1600. I hate using flash as I feel it destroys atmosphere.

BTW, what fabulous lenses these old Takumars are.

Seems a very clandestine capture, like she standing in front of prayer candles
Pentax pour des images riches en détails!

Thanks Sean, couldn't actually be further from the truth! She was using her laptop computer; this is where most of the light in the image comes from!

I like the low-key lighting and her expression. This is a well taken shot.
