Photo 365: Day 188 – Daily Shoot: Differential in light

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Look for an area with a big differential in light. Make a photo exposed for the brightest area, isolating a subject.

Yep that’s me staring at the monitor – you may call it a self-portrait 😉

I had a totally different idea for today’s daily shoot assignment with something to shoot in the backyard and that changed with the rain this evening. So as I was looking for differential in light indoor, I saw our bright monitor and decided to go with this self-portrait to incorporate the idea for today’s assignment – I have to admit, self-portrait was the last thing I had in mind.

I shot this in manual mode and took the meter reading based on the monitor (brightest area) and isolating the subject (that would be me).

This is SOOC and I like the way it turned out.

    Nice response to the assignment Sasi. I like your composition and creative thinking in your photo even if it wasn’t what you had intended at first.

    That’s a huge monitor! Great job with the metering on this, and SOOC?
    I’m finding it a little difficult to keep up this week. Looks like you’ve been staying focused. I admire your commitment Sasi.
