Mr. E

Thinking I would build upon the result I had with yesterdays blip, I managed to persuade Mr. E to pose for a portrait. Instead of being easier it turned out much harder. Why is that?

One answer is that the bulb had blown in the light I was going to use. But that's too simple an answer. I think it's because the character is different. To try to capture this chap is much harder, he's a much more complex person.

Lighting with a torch for 4 seconds tends to result in staring eyes, making him look like an escapee from Alcatraz. It's too easy to make him look like a thug - but he isn't (but not a push over either). So in the end I didn't quite get what I was looking for.

I suppose, in order to improve I have to keep going, keep making mistakes and just keep blipping.
