Outdoor portrait with black backgroun
Lens: Pentax 90mm Camera: Pentax K-3 Photo Location: Trondheim, Norway ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/150s Aperture: F27

Shutter speed is really 160, and aperture f/25, but those settings are not available in the drop down menus.

I was trying out the technique where you shoot on an overcast, or even sunny day, and still get a black background, and Solveig helped me out by modelling for me. I almost succeeded too, as you can just barely see the window on the building behind her.

I like it. The photo reminds me of a '60's movies.

Thank you guys.

Here's another shot from yesterdays shoot. I placed a flash with a small beauty dish in front of the model, but turned it 90 degrees and made a small gap (2-3 mm) between the flash unit and the dish to let a strip of light hit her face. Shame about her elbow being a huge dark blob, but I didn't notice it until after the shoot.
