Hands Up

I harped on about needing some ideas/inspiration a couple of weeks ago and Duncan suggested I do some close ups of hands/feet etc. Well I haven't done that yet but I had managed to capture some nice clear hands at the Best of the Best Tournament. I had set my camera ISO to 250 (very low for indoors) and with my fast 85mm f/1.8 prime lens and the result is nice clear skin tone and fine details.

Helen Caley. This image isn't as sharp and clear due to the higher ISO rating of 800 and the use of my 17-55 zoom lens instead of the 85mm prime (fixed focal length, ie can't be zoomed) lens.
