Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron 28 - 105
f/11 at 1/250
ISO 100
This shot is an example of key shifting. I chose to underexpose the the background and light myself with a flash. You can tell that the environment is not really as dark as it appears simply by looking at my eye glasses.
They are equipped with transition lens which means they go dark in bright day light. They are dark in the photo therefore it was fairly bright. I added to the effect by putting a 3/4 CTO gel on the flash which warmed the light making it almost looks like this was taken at sunset.
A second flash lighting part of the boat in the background would have made this more convincing. As it stands most people will probably think I was lit by a flash. Either way I like the picture.
