Selfies in art

ISO: 1000  f/2.8  shutter speed: 1/160

ISO: 1000 f/2.8 shutter speed: 1/400


            I took these photos yesterday during yearbook. In smedley's room they were drawing self-portraits and that's what I was assigned to go shoot. In his room there are these lights underneath cabinets that are really bright and annoying. Last year, I shot something in that room and the lights were in almost all of my pictures and I hated processing them because those lights were so annoying and distracting. So, this time I was conscience of that while shooting and tried my very best to avoid them in most all of my pictures. They are not present in these two. Thank goodness. I did not use flash for either of these, even though I probably should have. I have just come to the conclusion that I am a natural lighting kind of person, so if I don't need on camera flash than I usually won't use it. I should have used a slower shutter speed for both of these because I had to bring the exposure up in Lightroom for them both. I think my shutter speed is so fast on the second one because my focus was on the piece of paper which is white, therefore the meter was a little off. Luckily, it wasn't too underexposed to where I couldn't fix it.
