September 23, 2008 I wonder if this is called a chester? (As opposed to a header...) It was so dark tonight...This is pushing my equipment to it's absolute limit...maxed out of focal length (200mm), maxed out on ISO (1600), maxed out on aperture (2.8), shutter speed (1/200) as low as I thought I could go without significant blur... As it is, it's about 2 stops underexposed, but like I said, that's all she'd do... I still like the shot...and it did make for a nice background... I don't know where the rest of the players are...this was taken mid-game... Post: -Noise reduction (despeckle)
September 22, 2008 Uneventful end to the day... Post: -Pano crop
September 21, 2008 Today I was going to take a self-portrait similar to the one Nigel Barker has on the current cover of American Photo magazine. But, lacking a tux and willing assistants...I ended up processing a photo from my recent trip instead... This one is just south of Pueblo, CO. Post: -A couple of minor level adjustments -Duplicate level with a +1 stop exposure and a gradient mask to brighten the bottom portion of the image- -Pano crop
