ABOUT THIS PHOTO
Taken with Canon Rebel T5i
EF 18-135mm Lens, Focal length 44mm, f/5.6, Exposure time 1/6 ISO 800
As I recall, this was just after I had purchased the T5i and was looking for any excuse to use it. At the time, we were playing Bar Trivia at various places in the area pretty regularly. This night, I didn’t feel safe leaving my gear in the car, so I brought it in with me. Since it was right next to me, my friends at the table asked me about the camera, and I offered to take pictures of everyone. Later, when editing these photos, I decided to see what this would look like in B&W, and I was stunned.
I find the light on Lisa’s face and the reflection in her eyes fantastic, but more amazing to me is the expression on her face as she intently listens to someone else at the table. This is who Lisa is, and she’s an excellent friend.
I still think this is one of the best pictures of people I’ve ever taken.
