Thanks, Herb, for the kind comments on my photo and this long and sad tale about your wife's experience in the medical profession. Sadly, such tales are now the overwhelming norm - and for mentioning it in passing, I got tarred as an "unpleasant" person. Can't be helped.
As to the settings, I thought I checked the "Show EXIF" button but it doesn't seem to show up. This was shot at 1/125 f 8 ISO 100 with my 85mm 1.2 prime lens and my Canon 5D MkIII. The light source was about four feet away on the right, while the reflector was quite close - just outside the camera frame on the left. I hope that helps.
All best wishes,
Endre

I appreciated your comments about you daughter going into nursing and how bad becoming a doctor is. My wife studied art in college and decided that after she got out and got a pitiful paying job that unless she did something else she would forever live in her parents basement. And this was someone that had scored perfect on her math SAT test, 800 out of 800.
She decided to go back to school and was studying to be a medical technician. She was able to get a job running tests on blood etc and when she realized that doctors were asking her what the results of a test meant, she decided that she could do their job and applied for medial school and was accepted.
She decided to become an Ob/Gyn and had to put in the extra requirements of residency to be certified in that area. All of her schooling from beginning to end was paid by her. 101% by her. She was the first in her family to ever go to college. In fact her dad told her she was wasting her money going to college!
She didn't waste her money....she has had a good career, BUT, the changes in medical care make being a doctor a bad business to be in. For the 4 consecutive years she has made less than the year before. Her rent, utilities, supplies, employees and medical malpractice insurance goes up every year, but the reimbursement rate goes down. The doctor is caught between a rock and a hard spot. Her only option to make the same money as the year before is to work more and more. Crappy business model.
When we can't find doctors in the future that all the work and expense they go through to get there is no longer worth it remember the business model that has been forced on them!
So on to your photo...really great! Can you share where the light(s) were located relative to your camera position and your camera setting?...Show more →
