This week’s assignment was to take some photographs in low-light conditions.

I turned my ISO all the way up.

Following some directions on youtube, I made my regular ol’ convertible Wescott ‘brolly into a brolly-box. I really like how it softens the light. Unfortunately, my skills at flashing are still pretty low. So is my ambition for creative photography this week. The assignment was “directional light: side lighting.” I barely scraped by.

Iris looks into the light. Flash!

I try to get Iris to sit still a minute & end up with another underexposed photo.

The subject for last week’s P52 was “My favorite,” which can mean anything. An inordinate number of people posted photos of their favorite child. I wasn’t going to post a photo of my child at all, because I’m above all that. Of course, I only have one child. The two of us have spend the last week housebound, knocked off our feet by some gruesome intestinal flu. Iris threw up lots and lots. She didn’t eat anything but momma milk for nearly a week, tho now she has bites of custard now and again.
