Today’s daily shoot assignment: Look for an area with a big differential in light. Make a photo exposed for the brightest area, isolating a subject.
Yep that’s me staring at the monitor – you may call it a self-portrait 
I had a totally different idea for today’s daily shoot assignment with something to shoot in the backyard and that changed with the rain this evening. So as I was looking for differential in light indoor, I saw our bright monitor and decided to go with this self-portrait to incorporate the idea for today’s assignment - I have to admit, self-portrait was the last thing I had in mind.
I shot this in manual mode and took the meter reading based on the monitor (brightest area) and isolating the subject (that would be me).
This is SOOC and I like the way it turned out.

Hi Sasi!
Great interpretation of the challenge today. Mine didn’t work. Good job keeping up.

Great shot. This kind of light is tricky…

Nice response to the assignment Sasi. I like your composition and creative thinking in your photo even if it wasn’t what you had intended at first.
Great SOOC camera! Interesting assignment.

That’s a huge monitor! Great job with the metering on this, and SOOC?
I’m finding it a little difficult to keep up this week. Looks like you’ve been staying focused. I admire your commitment Sasi.
i love this shot, imagine myself in the same position
nice that you have 2 bright areas in opposite corners. Just enough light on the face too.
