SOOC Saturday - Red, White and Blue

Jill made this fabulous desert last night for our monthly Book Club discussion. It's a fitting tribute to summer. And yummy, too.



How I shot this - Jill's kitchen is a little dark, with incandescent lighting. I set my aperture to f2.8 (wide open on the lens I was using). Because I can't hand hold anything slower than 1/60sec, I had to increase my ISO all the way up to 2500 in order to get my shutter speed to an acceptable level. I also know that at this high ISO level, my camera tends to over expose, so I set my exposure compensation to -2/3EV.

I also added stability to the camera by placing my elbows on the counter while shooting. This helps further reduce camera blur.

Exposure 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture f/2.8
Focal Length 48 mm
ISO Speed 2500
Exposure Bias -2/3 EV
