Day 9: Someone You Love

I'm back to the photography challenge! I apologize for taking a few days off. I had one of my best friends come in town for a few days and we spent the whole time talking, laughing, eating, drinking, spending time with friends and family, and thrifting. We are both photographers; however, did not manage to take any pictures while she was here- we were really enjoying living in the moment!

For this day's challenge "Someone you love" I chose to take a picture of my boyfriend, Chris, whom I love very much. We live together with our 3 dogs and 1 cat- which makes for a crazy but fun home filled with love, laughter and dog kisses. Chris has been my rock for 3 years- we have gone through a lot and grown closer because of it all. He is strong minded and strong willed, but still one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. His family means the world to him which, along with everything else, made me fall in love with him.

I took this picture this morning as he was rushing out the door to work- he was a really good sport about it; however, I wish I had more time to get the lighting and background right.

Manual mode. ISO 400. f3.4, shutter speed 250. Auto white balance. Natural light only.

Same settings as above except for shutter speed which was around 100- causing over-exposure. Noir filter.
