Quick Take 09.15.07

DIONYSIUS01a
(Nikon D2X, Nikon 85mm f/1.8, 1/8th sec. @ f/2.8, ISO 640, SB-800 off camera)

While on assignment Saturday night at Dionysius in Baltimore, I noticed a young lady talking with friends at a table nearby. Behind her an improvisational group of musicians dabbling in "experimental fusion" played. On the left, and a little behind her, I mounted a Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight. It was aimed at the wall to angle towards the group. Enough made its way to the woman to make nice rim light, the fill provided from the bounce on the opposite wall.

A delicate frame, with dreamy quality, even though the overall image has a low-key effect.

Lovely!

Awesome shot! I have always been scared of taking pictures of random people that I don't know. I guess i should get past that! :)
