If there’s one thing I know, it is that there’s never enough light. So for a portrait like this, from April 2014, I need to add some.
1/200, f/2, 800 ISO.
So that is one and one-third stop more than the usual 400/40/4 (400 ISO, 1/40 sec, f/4); i.e. almost the same; except a blurrier background by using a larger aperture, and hence, the need for faster speed.
And the flash was pointed where?
Behind me.
