17 of 365. For the Our Daily Challenge prompt — topless without people.
I, for one, was relieved that they added “without people” to the prompt.
This was my first attempt at shooting in the full manual mode on the camera. I should have started with that. I understood more about the relationship between aperture, shutter, iso, and white balance after a round of shots in manual than I have after reading a stack of explanations about it all.
I’m happy enough with this shot, but it makes me wish I had a better way to control lighting. There are reflections on the teapot. Those are partly from an overhead light and partly from a window. I needed something more diffused. Clearly I need a studio setup. Since that isn’t likely to happen in this decade, it’s back to the books. I have some home-crafted photog tricks to learn.
