A Studio Portrait
by davidstorm
It's not really a studio portrait, just a photo I took of my wife Nicky and our dog Daisy today, whilst at the Ryedale Folk Museum in Hutton-Le-Hole, North Yorkshire. The museum has a fabulous collection of old buildings, from Medieval timber framed houses, to an old photo studio with the large windows made of old glass photographic plates. I couldn't resist a posed shot in this atmospheric place.

Like this. The backdrop acts as a natural frame for your wife & Daisy. What benefit do you get from using a polarising filter indoors? It's on my list to buy one, just not got round to it yet.

Hi Steve, no real benefit, except it has a positive effect on colours, more saturation / intensity. The only reason it was on is because I had been using it outside in bright sunlight.

Thanks Andrew, I took a few more yesterday that I'm sure you will like too. If you are ever in North Yorkshire the Ryedale Folk Museum is a 'must visit' place, it is superb.
Thank you Paul, Trixie and Mac, as always I really appreciate your comments.
Best wishes
David

Possibly your lovely wife might have been caught in mid facial pose, as if she's not quite ready for your accuation. The Dog, unperturbed, is ready anytime. - ( my best guess why some of comments above ) -- The image IS very cunningly arranged and executed. The open door image is the strength here. While most image makers would crop at the door you leave the open door as if to invite the viewer past the subjects.( I think we have a Hitchcock mystery evolving here.) Seriously, a intriguing image I'd be proud of. -- tg

Thanks Tony, the 'open door' for me is the focal point of the image and as you say is intended to lead the eye past the main subjects.
Best wishes
