Lakshitha with a sparkling light ball

Portrait with a sparkling light ball

I captured this photograph of a little girl with the sparkling light ball indoors. This was a random shot and never planned. Of course, this is the best of several shots. The result was impressive, when seen from the perspective of am amateur photographer.

The sparkling light ball is equipped with LED lights inside. When the ball is dropped down or hit to the hard surface, it will light up for few seconds. This ball costs less than Rs. 100. It is available in most of the fancy stores.

As you see in the photograph, I did not require a flash as the ball gave sufficient light to light up the face. The completely dark background greatly compliments the partial face of the subject.

I took this photograph in a completely darkroom with the only light source from this ball. I have not rendered any Photoshop effects to the image except the watermark.
