How much light?

04th January 2013
How much light do you need to make a good photograph? With modern digital cameras the truth is you need very little. It was another dull day in Mayo a good day for some indoor photography. I got together with my friend Sinead and we did some window light pictures of my son Barry. For this picture we almost fully closed the curtains so the only light in the room was on Barry's face. I am including a picture of the window so you can see what we did.

Of course it did mean using a tripod and a very high ISO.

ISO 1600, f4 1/30second






This is the set up in the room, the bottom of the curtains are pegged together, and of course in this pic Barry has a white t shirt on.
