The Bald Heretic

Cynthia and I were having lunch at the original Star Pizza and we were discussion wide angle lenses. I handed her my camera with the Sigma 20mm 1.8 to show her how close you can get with a good wide angle. She snapped a shot and, well…I like it so I’m posting it.

Continuing to experiment in Photoshop.

The smile on Cynthia’s face marks the exact moment that she realized I was pointing a camera at her as she ran to car.

Experimentation

I’m processing several hundred images. I’m not nearly done but while I was going through my shots of The Aqua Velva, one picture in particular caught my attention and I started tweaking it in Photoshop:

I didn’t do much. The motion blur and contrast was pre-existing and I simply expanded upon that. I used a noise filter to clean up some of the roughness and give it an smoother overall texture and amped up the color just a little.

Brrrrr

Yea, I know. We Texans don’t really know the meaning of the word “COLD” down here. Still, temperatures hovering near freezing with a goodly amount of precipitation and we’re practically crippled. It’s not even a beautiful winter wonderland or anything. Just cold and wet and partially frozen.

Thanks to the magic of the Internet, I am home and warm. Drinking some Ethiopian Sidamo coffee freshly ground from the local Starbucks as I telecommute to work today via Citrix.

Took the camera into the yard to shoot a few pics, so that’s a plus.

There’s something about Beetle that compels me to shoot them in black and white. You can always see them in color each Thursday night at the Houston Continental Club during happy hour from 7-10pm.

I’m really enjoying the fast wide angle lens.
