Challenge: Zen Photography III (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Location: A wall near my house, Great Cambourne. Cambridge
Date: Apr 15, 2010
Aperture: f11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/160

Date Uploaded: Apr 16, 2010

 This image was taken using a Bowens soft box.
I don't have the money for a battery pack for the light so I ran a long extension cable from my house.
What started out as a bit of fun with the camera, produced this great shot.
Robin (the subject) suggested I entered it in to a comp...
I converted the original to B&W using Calculations in PS.
I then used lens correction to give it a Vignette.
Saving out to Jpeg, I then re-opened in Camera Raw to use the split toning.
Opening back in photoshop, I made a selection around Rob and reduced the brightness to create the heavenly light around him. Sharpen and save - this is the result. Hope you like?
