Kathie Gibson

A collection of kid shoes that the dog has chewed in the last few days. Dog also likes backpacks and bread, whole loaves of it.

I had a hard time with this but it was not worthless because I got out a book to read more about depth-of-field, trying to get detail on all the chewed shoes, learned more about the AV mode on the camera, so there is actually ~worth~ in this picture for me, if not for the kids feet.

I am not happy with the black and white detail, although I have played with this for over an hour when I should have been cleaning or something. Click on the word "Worthless" for a color version.

Rafi,
I just tried again with contrast and curves to do something with the blacks, still am not happy. It's been so gray here, rain, rain, clouds and more clouds, I need some light and contrast!.

This is perfect in b&w, they've definitely served their purpose at one time and now, um... worthless. :-)
