Stock Shot Project

This photo was shot in a similar fashion to the one from yesterday with soft window light, and using the same camera and lens.  It does show how close you can get with the 35mm f/2 D lens on a DX camera.

The day was very overcast.  I always shoot in RAW and include a Qpcard in the scene so that I can calibrate the light balance to standard daylight later.  All you have to do when bringing the image in from RAW is click on the white square of the card with the white balance tool in Photoshop Bridge and the scene is automatically balanced.  From there you can warm or cool the scene by adjusting the color balance sliders further.  Doing that added a little more warmth to the top scene.
