davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[davidd]

OK, this glow-in-the-dark doll looks like a lot of fun to photograph.  What kind of ex-posure do you have to use to get the glow effect?

I charge up the glowing doll under a desk lamp and try to snap the photo within a few seconds. The max glow fades fairly quickly, but a visible glow lasts for hours.

I stopped down a stop and a third to darken the background and create maximum contrast.

I also hit "auto-correct" in the Photos software on the Mac, and then backed off the highlights a little bit, because they actually came out too bright.

Oh, the Horror!

Nelly is appalled by the chaos that has taken over the Smart Doll space.

Kind of a microcosm of the entire d*mned world these days.
