Never tried this before. Good fun and good practice. May as well get it right on myself before shooting others like this. No flash. Used a wide andgle 16-35mm, (I know it's a big no-no), but I think it looks OK.
I found an old cabin on my journey into the mountains tonight.
Might give it a go with the 70-200 next time and see what difference it makes.
Barry, I have to say that I have enjoyed following your recent photographic journey, particularly the macros - I think the portrait works well. The door the man, it's very symbolic - I note that the door is open. I presume that you knocked first?
With the ever diminishing opportunities to spend the extensive time needed for AP, I find macro a very satisfying outlet indeed.
Rowland, you raise a good point mate. I have noticed a lot of doors in my life of late. Some are being shut (a good thing) and many, many more are being opened. All I have to do is step through!
Lovely shot, Baz. Really nice! My minor nitpick would be the shadows are a bit harsh. Maybe some fill flash might just soften that up a bit. Just a touch of flash.

Thanks Troy. Really? I was actually thinking of going darker for a real striking and strong theme. Especially a close-crop.
I want to do some more experimenting with this so I'll try that mate. Cheers!
(I'm in one of those moods tonight...)
