Day 8: To Arms!

Canon EOS R5 | Canon RF28-70mm F2.0 L USM
1/60 sec | f/2.0 | 200 ISO

Why did I take this photo?

Every morning for the past 2.5 years, Denis and I start our day snuggled up in the lounge with coffee and a cat, playing the Xbox game Wingspan to help get our brains working. I usually defeat him unmercifully, or maybe he lets me win so he can see me smile. At any rate, we have amassed 72+ days of game time, and have no plans of stopping. 

How was this photo taken?

Hand held, dim lighting, brightened in post-processing. 

Did I learn anything? Would I do anything different next time?

I learned that this lens can handle low lighting MUCH BETTER than the macro lens! Also, I really must plan my photos earlier in the day. Rummaging around at the last minute really puts a hamper on creativity, and a photo of an xbox controller isn't interesting.

This is day 8 of 100 of The 100 Day Project, in which I commit to take and post a new photo from with my camera (not cellphone) every day. Follow my creative journey on via blog or Instagram.
