hey /p/.

I never use lighting other than natural, and I figure its about time I do if I want to start getting decent.

Here's my first attempt -
I used a fairly bright light in a hallway.. Covered the light with paper in such a way that light didn't go to the sides - only forward. I then shined the light on the right wall to get light from just one side of the guy.

How is it? shadows have no detail, blown highlights, bad composition, etc. etc.?

Oh also, is the iso I chose suitable?

It's properly exposed, so yes, the ISO is fine.

why the FUCK did you shoot at ƒ8 and 1/15?!?

pffffff.
ƒ5.6 & 1/45 would have been better and kept same ISO.

The photo is pretty well taken.. nice composition and lighting and shit..
But the model just looks like some sweaty geeky guy who's taking a break at QuakeCon or something.

The whole 'cool' thing doesn't work with dorky looking people basically. And in this case messes up the shot for me.
This is probably just me though.. because my girlfriend just disagreed and she's usually right, haha.

well, I could've properly exposed at 1600 iso (with a faster shutter) but there'd probably be too much noise, so there's more to it then that :/

I tried some shots at 5.6, it just didn't work. His lower face was too out of focus imo.

lol, what can ya do.

Always better to expose properly at a high ISO than underexpose.

Except for color. Mmm, underexposure.
