Sleep Eludes Me

Mild insomnia has set in once again, and rather than watch tv I decided to play with the camera. I found these sunglasses that belong to my daughter and thought they were rather sassy. She has a flair for the dramatic. I set up the tri-pod and grabbed a small flashlight and went to work. I took this photo with the glasses perched on my washing machine, with all the lights off in the whole house, except for the half dead little flashlight shining overhead. I tested different settings and finally settled on F/1.8, shutter speed 1" ISO 100. I wouldn't have been able to use these settings without a tripod because it would have been a blurry mess.

I'm rather happy with the outcome. I didn't have to tweak it or anything. At least my lack of sleep was productive... :)
