June 17th - Dramatic Light



I wasn't unhappy or depressed when I shot this but I know it looks that way. I was playing around with the strobe trying for some dramatic light and I thought this one turned out pretty dramatic. I bumped the contrast up a bit in Photoshop and took the color saturation way down. Almost black and white, but not quite. Cody says it looks depressing. What do you think? I think it looks like me after a long long day at 2 jobs, trying to think of something creative to photograph.
1/125th sec. f/25 iso 200 - One bare strobe at 1/4 power.

  1. I think you both have a point but it's still a great picture. Nice job.

  2. Looks to me like a creative guy "having a thought." I like the "almost" B&W look. Keep on shootin!

  6. I like it. Very introspective, the contrast works well, makes it dark and moody.
