Shayle Schirmer, The Smoker (LIGHT/SHADOW - Entries close 30 September 2026)

I actually took this photo for a weekly challenge theme of High ISO. I had my husband stand under a street light and light a cigarette. He wasn't a fan of the challenge since he's not a smoker! But I quite liked the result. Taken with Canon R7 and Tamron 18-400mm lens with adapter at 50mm. ISO 25600 f5.6 1/20sec using a tripod. Minor edits in Lightroom.
