Mannequins

I’d had my Nikon D80 for less than a month when I took the shot above. It was a quiet Sunday morning in the January of 2008. Someone – a mischievous window-dresser? a rogue customer? – had left a shop-window mannequin under-dressed. I’ve slightly cropped the original frame. I was pleased with the composition and the colour, less so that the auto-exposure setting had resulted in blown highlights. At that point the camera would have been mounted with the kit zoom lens it had been bundled with.
