Some Black & White Work

Today we went to visit the Vorlon wife’s Aunt Jean. While I was there, I thought I’d try some black and white photography. I set my Canon PowerShot A60 to black & white mode and the ASA speed to 400. I guess I took about 30 pictures. I turned the flash off, as I wanted these to be candid photos. The above picture is the Vorlon wife’s Aunt Jean. As you can see, it’s a little fuzzy. That’s because I had the ASA speed cranked up to 400. Digital cameras don’t seem to do very well in low light situations. At least mine doesn’t’. I thought that since I was shooting in black and white mode, it might improve It didn’t.

Still, it’s not a bad shot. I tried to clean up the photo on the computer, but my skills are just too meager to get what I wanted.

I wish I had a different background. But when you shot candid work, you have to take what you get.
