Kokeshi doll - Hohoemi (Smile) | And so they were three.
My wife has recently taken up a lifelong dream – collecting Japanese Kokeshi dolls. Today the third one arrived, fresh from Tokyo, Japan.
I thought this was a superb opportunity to try out the 5D’s low light capabilities. Although it wasn’t really dark, there wasn’t a lot of light on the doll’s face. Instead a big window was behind the doll, so the doll was mostly backlit. To get the chairs in the background nicely out of focus I shot this wide open at f/1.8 (with the 85mm).
