Challenge: Headwear (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM
Location: Harwich Port, MA, USA
Date: Nov 11, 2006
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Date Uploaded: Nov 11, 2006

 From RAW, very light tone mapping, otherwise straight from camera: no cropping, no color adjustment, nada. The tone mapping is equivalent to a slight shadow/highlight adjustment, not that noticeable at all except it brings up the blues of the shirt.

Prolly gonna get hammered on this take on "Headwear", but c'est la vie :-) I enjoy the heck out of this silly picture.

This is a wacky shot: it may have been an idea to fiddle with contrast a bit to take it out of being a candid shot and into an Intriguing Shot.

OK, I doublechecked, both your portfolio (self-portrait) and melethia's photo of you, and you're right. The most obvious is the different glasses. Sorry about confusing you with this guy. I still think it's a neat idea :) And at least to the casual viewer you two look a bit alike.

Sorry also about all the bad vibes with HDR. The whole thing really got on my nerves, something fierce.
