Henrietta

When I went out with Yunocchi the other day, Henrietta came with us too.  I had quite a good shoot planned for her but my camera ate most of it’s battery on Yunocchi, so it ran out after just 2 shots of Henrietta. However, I had the [crazy] idea to continue taking photo’s, but on my Mobile Phones camera, but didn’t exactly hold much hope in it. I didn’t think I’d come away with a set worth posting.

At the time, I considered it just a ‘test’ and a bit of fun, but when I got home and looked at the pictures on my pc I was surprised. They actually came out pretty decent [keeping in mind its just a 3mp phone camera] so in the end, I could post my photo’s after all.

As you can see in the background here, I took these photo’s in a woodland area, so there wasn’t much sunlight and I didn’t use the phones flash either. The picture came out surprisingly well. My best picture of the day I think, this image is now actually my phone wallpaper. I just love it.

This image isn’t as crisp, but I find the darker, softer look of the image looks quite nice. From this angle, Henrietta looks very insecure in my opinion so I think it fits nicely.

Although the background looks very fuzzy on this shot, I was amazed how crisp and clear the details on her face came out, especially her eyes.

Although these images are far from perfect, I think its very impressive for the dark damp conditions they were taken in and the fact that its just a built in phone camera. The photo’s look lighter then the actual area was. I’m still impressed overall.

I’m going to have to try a figure shoot with my phone again, but this time in conditions with better natural light for better results. Could be interesting.
