When my clients and I arrived at the beach, I was very pleased to see that a new piece of driftwood had washed up near the rocks. I never have a “plan” for using these oddly shaped creations, but I do know that kids love them and if I just get them together, something photogenic may happen. With this image, I kinda like the “confusion” that occurs when one views initially…at least when I viewed I did a double-take. And I love when that happens. Ü
Tech Info: Handheld Nikon D200, 85mm 1.4 Nikon lens, set to f2.2 at 1/1250th sec., ISO 100, shot in JPG B/W Mode, manual exposure mode, normal parameters. Morning sun behind the subject; metered for and adjusted settings for the shady side of the girl, then closed a touch so that I wouldn’t lose too much of the highlights.
