Birthday

It’s your birthday! Just a spontaneous portrait of the birthday girl. Taken with my new Canon 135mm f/2 lens. Actually this was a mistake that turned out. I did not do a good job balancing my ambient with my flash and the shutter speed dropped too low. This was taken at 1/20 sec and I am amazed that it turned out. Typically I would not even think about a shutter speed below 1/100 sec for this lens and preferably 1/200. All’s well that ends well I guess.

Technical – the flash was flagged to avoid any direct light and bounced off the wall to my left. Good light I think. Edited in Lightroom with a touch of color adjustment in Photoshop.
