I like taking photographs much more than I like being the subject. I never quite relax when I get my picture taken. Once in a while there is a picture that I like of myself. This is one of them.
Taking a picture in low light with no flash makes for a very real picture. The trade-off is a very shallow depth-of-field. (note, my eye is in focus yet the word Nikon on the camera is not.) Also, low light photography almost always has a slow shutter speed. With a slower shutter speed, both the camera and the subject have to be extraordinarily still.
This picture was taken on Greg and Lana’s sailboat at night with just a small background light. The iso is 1100 and the shutter speed is 1/100. The aperture is 1.4 which is as wide open as this lens gets. (this is what causes the shallow depth of field.)
The photo has obviously been post processed. The software is topaz adjust.
