I'm back at work again! Well, not exactly. I mean I did a self-assigned portrait tonight after the astronomy meeting. A friend of mind, Steve, needed a portrait showing him with something astronomy related. So I set him up in front of a giant painting of the moon on the wall in the plandetarium lobby, and then I asked hin to bring his automated telescope, which is seen on the table in the background. I used two lights for the scene, one with an umbrella to the right, and another less powerful light way in the background on the left which put a highlight on the left side of his face, and on the brightest part of his automated telescope. That second light from the left makes a world of difference in the sense of the photograph. How'd I do?
