Flour Portrait #5
PHOTOGRAPH INFO This photograph was taken on Friday, the fifth installment in the Flour Portrait Project. :) This is my friend Laurie, fellow photographer and photoblogger, whom I finally met in person at the opening for my show at Gallery 14. Thanks, Laurie, for volunteering to be floured! You were a wonderful model! I'll be on holiday this coming week. I'm hoping to post from the road but I'm not sure where/if/when I'll have an internet connection, so thanks for your patience. Post-processing: Shot with the Canon 85mm f/1.2L lens at 85mm, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/3200s and aperture f/1.2. Converted the RAW file using the gradient map, basic curves adjustment, slight color balancing for tone. Thank you for visiting Durham Township! --Kathleen Comments
