Of course the odds of running into her behind a restaurant are much better if you just finished treating her to dinner.<\/p>\n<p>The light was pretty soft and even. Note how soft her shadow is on the wall behind her in this photo. This made metering very simple. A gray card reading gave me an excellent exposure. I could also have metered her face and used the exposure compensation scale on the camera to dial in +1 exposure compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Update, January 7, 2016: See the link below for the same location under different lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150824-Anzhelika-5D3-3234-bw-w7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10099\" title=\"Anzhelika, phone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150824-Anzhelika-5D3-3234-bw-w7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"479\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before dinner she was checking messages on her phone and I was intrigued by the light, not only coming from the window behind her, but also the light from her phone glowing under her fingertips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=10104\">Same alley, same wall, different model<\/a>.
