[Nemesis]

I really like how this shot came out. I used no flash and was able to capture his true colors. Let me know what you think.

Thanks. It's a 18-55mm lens, with settings of ISO 800, f/3.5, and shutter speed of 1/20th.

Thanks. I'm a beginner myself, but the best advice I can give to you is to be patient. I was sweating bullets trying to stay absolutely still to get this shot. It took me over 10 attempts, and various different settings to get this relatively nice shot.
