Portraits lighting the shot

Page 57

If your shutter speed is less than 1/60th of a second, your image is going to be affected by the amount of ambient light in your image. The longer your shutter remains open, the more your image is affected. This is something you need to be aware of, particularly if you’re around lights that make someone “aesthetically challenged”. Which lights make someone aesthetically challenged? Fluorescent lighting is green or magenta and nobody other than the Incredible Hulk looks good with a green cast. Red lighting is almost impossible to correct so try to avoid it!

Final image of Raphael Karanikos. I am using my Canon 1DS Mk III with my 400 70-200 IS lens. The ISO is set to 400, the focal length is 200mm and the F5.0 @ 1/15th of a second.
