Splish splash

Canon 40D, lens: 50mm, f/stop: 1.8, iso: 1240, flash: off. This was taken in my bathroom at night with no natural light which is why I cranked up the ISO. And it’s also why there’s so much noise in the picture which you can see if you zoom in close.

Makes me wonder what it would have looked like had I used the flash. Maybe someday I’ll remember to use it.

  • I don't think you would have liked it as well without the flash...I prefer all pics without the flash. Do you have a flash where you can bounce the light off the ceiling? If not, that should be your next purchase. I like this picture just he way it is....I would have never even noticed the grain....To me, grain gives it more of an artsy look...like film
  • This post makes me want a 50mm even more!
  • who would've thought a bathtime picture would be about the noise you see and not the noise you hear?

    i still think it's an great picture. beautiful eyes.
  • I think dear Tess looks beautiful! You remind me of my husband with your comments about 'noise', etc. ;) He notices things I would never see. I can't even imagine how you could make it look better!
  • Oh my goodness! He/she (?) looks angelic. Beautiful shots!

    Beautiful shot! The eyes are just gorgeous. I think you did the right thing to skip the flash.

  • What a sweet, beautiful picture - I think you captured it just right.
  • this is such a great shot of that sweet little face!
  • beautiful eyes!! What a great shot!
  • Oh what a doll. I think the flash would have heavily over-exposed.
  • I wouldn't worry about a little grain. She's so fair she might disappear with flash. :-)
  • You always make me want to get my camera out and try and learn how to use it properly!
