Intense Shot

Samuel Hoffman and Lara Neel

Camera: NIKON D2Hs

Shutter: 1/3200 s

Aperture: f/2.8

Exposure Setting: Manual (Pattern Metering)

ISO: 200

Strobe Flash: Did Not Fire

Lens Focal Length: 300 mm

White Balance: Manual

Shooter's Comments: With this photo, her intensity is really shown by the clinched fist in place of the trumpet. The sunglasses help, too.

- Samuel Hoffman, Photojournalist

Editor's Note: By using a long lens and a wide-open aperture, Samuel made sure Larissa's face (and sunglasses) were the only things that would be sharp in the final image. If he had used a shorter lens or a smaller f-stop, the people in the background would have been more clear, and the image wouldn't be as striking.
