MY MAIN CRITTER—
In a recent blog comment Cousin Bill in FL requested a portrait of Max with my new camera. This is my first effort.
Lady friend Ruthie was sitting at the counter attracting Max’s attention with his favorite biscuits while I steadied the camera on her shoulder and squeezed off this shot. The main light is from a hanging lamp over the counter with some residual window light accounting for the cooler highlights around his head.
For you techies I had to boost the ISO rating to the camera’s maximum of 1600 to achieve the proper exposure with a modest shutter speed.
In a film camera pushing the film’s sensitivity causes an increase in apparent grain. The digital equivalent of grain is “noise” but it is quite tolerable in this image.
I think this camera is going to be a keeper.
