Eilish

I managed to get these two shots of Eilish reading this morning, much to here disgust, hence the slightly unimpressed expression.  Taken on the Canon EOS 5D with my 28-300mm lens set at 127mm, 1/4s at f/5.6 at ISO 640.  I just used the natural light from the french windows, hence the slow shutter speed and so the image was not perhaps quite as sharp as it might have been with a flash.  I reduced the clarity a bit in Lightroom, producing a nice soft focus effect which I think works well in black and white.

I like the focus on this, the eyes are sharp with the rest of the face being softer. Think this actually gives a much nicer (horrid word I know) feel to the picture than could have been got with flash of any form. Nice one Iain! I hope you got something today.

Hi Alasdair,
Thanks for the comments. I really like these photos, despite the subject being a little less than happy at being photographed. I agree that the slightly soft focus works well and the sharp detail of the lashes for example has worked well. I normally don't like using flash much because I find it difficult to get the exposure right and this kind of soft lighting works much better if the subject is willing to sit still long enough.
