For this assignment, you get to pick the light for your subject. You can take a high- or a low-contrast photo. You can take the picture indoors or out, in full light or low light. The only instruction is to make not of all the elements that went into the photo that you choose to upload. What kind of light were you dealing with? Did you need to adjust the white balance? What were your shutter speed, ISO, and aperture settings. Did you have to adjust them to accommodate the amount of light available? Share all the details you can think of or remember.

The next assignment will be posted March 9th.

Dusk light is the right light for me.  I love it.   Here I mostly just had to be there at the right time (6.40 pm), on an esplanade whose main axis is east/west.
Canon G11, ISO 800, 1/200 @ F4.0, AWB, no corrections.

Very nice. Shooting very early in the morning or late in the evening really produces some very nice colours. Clouds help also. Jim

Heres my weekly assignment.I used outdoor light I had to switch the white balance to daylight.
Camera:Canon 50 D Shutter Speed:1/2000 Shooting Mode: aperture priority Av:4.5 Exp. Compensation: +1/3 ISO:200
Did a bit of cropping to get more of the person in the photo.
