Challenge: Street Photography (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4.0 AT-X Pro DX
Location: Akureyri, Iceland
Date: Feb 15, 2007
Aperture: 4
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 25
Galleries: Urban, Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Feb 15, 2007

 Self portrait, wanted to create a dark image with someone unlucky, living in the street. This is just lit with the headlights of the car and one silver reflector. The setup took about 30-40 minutes but still I almost lost my fingers due to the frost :) Still worth it, I´m quite happy with the result.

Pp: Converted from raw, then many small steps tweeking color and brightness until satisfied, made the clothes gray and cloned out annoying lens flare, resize, sharpen.

Great photo, but looks too posed to be believable as street photography.

I like the dramatic lighting - well handled. I will say it looks posed, but it's still an effective shot.

interesting mood. may sound strange, but i like how the crack runs into him, making him seem more attached to his environment. like he's part of it's brokenness. like the image, but i'm not a big fan of the set up shot for this challenge.
