Q. How did you set the shot up?
It was shot in the late afternoon (4:30ish) in Venice, Italy. There was no "set up" involved. We were just exploring (which in Venice means we were lost) and came upon this woman sitting on the stairs.
Q. What equipment did you use?
I was shooting with a Minolta DiMage A2 at the time.
Q. What f-stop and exposure?
I was using an ISO of 64 and the exposure was f/7.1 at 1/200 sec. and was shot with the lens at approx. 100mm.
Q. How many attempts before the success?
The image was originally shot in a horizontal format and I cropped the right side to make it a square.
