As slow as a tortoise

I was inspired by my brothers blip of my nephew with a funky hair do and the blue glasses. I tried to capture Tom, my other half, he wears functional as oppose to fashionable blue glasses. Alas after faffing around with various settings, and lamps and lights I gave up. I need lots of advice especially regarding portrait hacks. So here I am Mrs slow tortoise, at least this one is wearing sparkles !
