I know that ''Fstoppers'' crew mostly care about the technical side and details. There is nothing wrong with that. However, I think that they skip the ''emotional'' side. Why this image is low key, why is it a male, why is his hairs so messy, why is the expression so cruel? These answers can not be found if you judge the image with ''technical'' side. Instead if you try to see it with your emotions you may find different aspects- like male anger, male loneliness, a male hiding his emotions, a man wanting to be in the dark- so that his emotions can't be seen much. And those are things I see when I look at the image. That's why I think it is a good image.
Thanks Resat, in this particular instance there was no time to even change the camera settings. I saw the first sunrays of the morning light on his face while we where having coffee in a dimly lit kitchen. I just happened to have my camera within arms reach. This is the first frame of 3, the later two are of cause technically better but the moment was gone (few seconds later)... I have added grain and roughness in post...
There's yer man. The pictures on the b/g should have been knocked back. Or a small move to the right would have got rid of them.
This is way too underexposed. If you increase the levels then adjust the contrast, it might become more interesting.
