Frosting
Postings here have been a bit lax of late I'm afraid, not due to a shortage of ideas, but time. This is one from the archives, just before Christmas. A little reminder of what winter should be like!
As is often the case, I'd have liked a little more depth of field on this. I just can't resist opening up the aperture when I'm taking the photo, but regret it later.

Camera model : Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL Date/Time : 2006:12:20 10:10:32 Flash used : No Focal length : 55.0mm (35mm equiv: 89mm) CCD width : 22.20mm Exposure time: 0.0003 s (1/4000) Aperture : f/5.6 ISO equiv. : 800 Whitebalance : Auto Metering Mode: matrix Exposure : aperture priority (semi-auto) |
This was shot at ISO 800 by accident, so most of the post processing was recovering from that - a Gaussian blur overlay to remove much of the noise in blue of the sky, and a bit of curves fun to brighten a little. It was also cropped and I toyed with flipping it horizontally, as I think it's nice to have things leading from left to right, but I just looked wrong that way (perhaps because I was used to seeing it this way).

Don't recall exactly what I did here, but think it was mainly an automatic levels adjustment.

Happy
Isabel is on the whole a very happy baby; she always has a laugh for her mum and dad, which is very rewarding. I don't always understand what it is she's laughing at (stairs, for example, are apparently hilarious!) but it's nice to have captured this essential part of her.

Post processing was, if I remember rightly, convert to black and white using mostly the red channel, with a little green and a tiny bit of blue, then curves adjustment to give a bit more contrast, Gaussian blur overlay layer, and a tiny amount of unsharp mask to finish.
