November 6, 2004

Well, not quite what I wanted, but close enough. I couldn't fit my studio strobes in the tiny area of space I had to work with, so I used the SB-800s. This was a test shot for a school fundraiser. The theme of the evening was Casablanca. I did a better job when I was behind the camera, but didn't get the lighting the way I wanted it. I converted to B&W, sharpened and then gaussian blurred, radius 4.5, opacity 30% (thanks Jeanne), and adjusted levels 10 .75 and 230 to increase contrast. I sold 28 5x7s at $10.00 each. A very small contribution to the thousands raised during the auction.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC
1/60s f/8.0 at 50.0mm iso200 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
