i’d like to think it’s the practice. i got the idea tonight that i wanted to try again — this time i had certain parameters in mind. i wanted the background darker. i wanted to use the heliar, since it has such creamy bokeh. and i wanted fast light fall-off, so i put the umbrella right in ryan’s face. focus.. tighten down.. closer shutter.. check that the power pack is charged.. *POP*
