SHM - I don't know anything about photography, but I love the pics with this lighting you have been posting lately!

Thank you very much.

It is a style called low-key. It is darker than a "normal" lighted photo. The opposite is called high-key and that is very bright (almost white) photos.
I have not done low-key before, but have seen some great shots on various forums, so I just thought I would give it a try - Lu20vt and il Barbiere AiA are two gentlemen on here who master this style to perfection :thumbup1:
I still have a lot to learn, but I am pleased with a couple of the shots from the previous month.
I will return to my normal setting from tomorrow, and then mix it up with this style once in a while :001_smile
 
Cheers!Beautiful pictures,gents!:thumbup:
