September 30: SP Friday ( a la Audra)

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I was so pleased with my experimentation in using high contrast/sharpness black and white settings directly inside my camera ***of Audra on the 28th*** that I decided a ‘straight’ forward (you get only one of me this week folks) SP a la that style would suffice for today.

The settings in the 20D were B&W, +2 on contrast, +2 on sharpness, and green filter.

And below is an alternate version while setting up.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
1/30s f/8.0 at 55.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I like the alternate shot better. the top shot looks uncoordinated, for want of a better word.

I'd like to ask Ken to "fix" MY wrinkles . . permanently!!!

Great shot, Robin. I have to laugh at the bottom one. It looks like you are telling yourself what to do next! I'm proud of my wrinkles, too.

Guest		01-Oct-2005 02:10
This is a great shot. Excellent tones as well.

Very cool sp my friend! Cheers

@Ken... I like my wrinkles! I worked hard to get them. ;-)

Guest		01-Oct-2005 00:44
Nice SP, Robin. You'll have to splain it to me when you get here.

Elaine (etfitz)		01-Oct-2005 00:24
Wonderful sp!

Kenneth Zimmerman		30-Sep-2005 23:08
Don't take this the wrong way but I have a real easy way in PhotoShop to ease those wrinkles under your eyes. I know they are "knowledge lines", as only us over 50 seem to get them. I'm going to copy this image, fix it, and e-mail you my results! I really enjoy your work and humor and view on life!!!!!!!!

Gary Winters		30-Sep-2005 22:20
Robin, these SPs make me think of the visages of geniuses. You're becoming a genius with the camera, and with Photoshop.

Stu		30-Sep-2005 22:06
Excellent!

Mindy McNaugher		30-Sep-2005 21:25
Great results Robin! And great SP! Now I have to go try to learn something else about this digital camera!! ;-) Though I don't have the 20D!

Al Chesworth		30-Sep-2005 20:12
Nice SP Robin and an interesting method for mono.

royalld		30-Sep-2005 20:03
Why is it that Audra can shoot with one hand and you need two? Must be 20d thing, eh? :)

Lee Rudd		30-Sep-2005 18:51
you trendy dude you!

Zak		30-Sep-2005 17:59
nice SP! Northy taught me the 'bumping up the red' trick :-)

Guest		30-Sep-2005 17:19
hehe!! great image!! you managed it again! (AND.....ROTFL.......you even have the sunglasses on your head! you crack me up!) Since I don't have the 20d, I need to figure out what to do in PS to get the "look" I think I will try bumping up the red and the contrast before converting to b+w?!?! Think it will work? XO, Audra

Cliff		30-Sep-2005 16:57
Clear and in good focus, which is more than I can say for me a lot of mornings.. ;o)

J. Scott Coile		30-Sep-2005 16:38
I really like this B&W conversion Robin. Nice SP. You have never done one of those have you ;)
