These are great shots! I would love to know your settings on these? The vignetting on the third one is perfect, it adds to the sombre mood. Good job!

Thanks Eye and Adam...

Eye of the Beholder:
for the first one:
No flash
Focal length: 18mm
F number: f/22
Exposure: 1/90 sec
Metering mode: Spot
ISO 200

2nd one:
No flash
focal length: 18mm
F number: f/5.6
Exposure: 1/30 sec
Metering mode: spot
ISO: not sure, likely 800 or 1600

3rd one:
No flash
focal length: 31mm
F number: f/5.6
Exposure: 1/10
Metering mode: spot
ISO: 800 or 1600 (for some reason the exif data never includes iso)

That was probably more than you wanted to know, but oh well :D The first 2 were handheld, the third I had the camera resting between the bars of the cell. They were all edited with Photoshop as well Smile

Not at all Oriental-dragon, in fact I think everyone should post their settings in the critique section, it really helps to "see" what was going on and to help with feedback!

Was there window light in the 2nd and third ones? Maybe not if your ISO was at 1600 I guess that would lighten it up quite a bit.

Anyway great shots-loved them Smile
