Time Out

Mid January 2012 at the end of the day: picture opportunities with expressions like this don't come up often. India placed herself on the "naughty step" after a tiff with her siblings. Suddenly I had another picture for my Photog homework on a "Theme of Time".

Checking that no social worker was outside the front room window I grabbed the camera with a fast lens as I knew it was dark up on the landing and time was going to be very short indeed.

Time Out

Nikon D700 ISO800 Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens @f/1.4 1/60sec
Minimal cropping in Lightroom 3.6

For me the legs to knees & elbows to wrists are the lead in lines to the only thing that needs to be in focus: the eyes - and the subtle catch lights from the stained glass window high up behind me that act like a large soft-box in the post sunset light. What is the learning point for me in this composition?

Keep it simple.
