The most important moments in live, are always shortlive. Diner is one of this moments. Instead of diving in the delicious diner to satisfy ones appetite, better reserver this appetite for later and for ever. If you have a boyfriend who tells you don?t pay me a visit without this wine, or a girlfriend who tells you, even if it doesn?t work with us, I will alway come for diner, you will understand, why I made this shot.
as already said, thanks for the advice with a reflecting device, I'll use it next time. In this case anyway it was such a fast and quick moment, where I just wished to capture the atmosphere and the feeling we felt together. Yeah, "together" is the right description. That was what you will always remember like 'special' in your life. But concerning the tecnic, you are perfectly right.
the focusing isn't very sharp...but the thing that this photograph could use a lot of help with is the lighting. try not to use the camera's flash for an image like this...the shadows are just too strong and noticable. a reflecting device (anything that reflects, really) can be placed around the subject and give enough light that you wont have to use flash...OR, since it is a still life and no moving objects, set your camera on a tripod and do a longer shutter without flash to expose properly. hope this helps. good luck:)
