day 10: out the window again

Still studying--exam on tuesday--so here's another one from out our apartment window. I added a touch of gradient to the sky and bumped the contrast some. I ended up trading back to the 50mm to get better sharpness/detail of the woodgrain, though compositionally it meant accepting a certain amount of bleeding with the subject running out of frame in all directions. I see now that the focus is just off the wood, more on the wires beyond. Rats.

I'm interested to buy a book on flash work, if anybody's got a recommendation.

Go Pittsburgh!
