I've been playing with my new (Xmas gift) Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens.
This was taken out for a walk with friends on New Years Day. My wife (pictured) doesn't normally stop long enough to pose for photos so I have to catch her unawares and get impromptu shots when I can. The speed of this lens means that I can get a quick shot before she moves again. Plus shooting with it at wide apertures gives a lovely bokeh.
This was then treated in photoshop with a gradient map to convert to B&W followed by several texture layers with diffffernt blend modes and then on a final flattened image a high pass sharpening masked to occur on only the eyes.
Oh and by the way, despite her not liking her photo taken I keep telling her how beautiful and photogenic she is.
A little part of the web for me to talk about Photography, what I'm up to, share experiments, recent shots, hints and tips. To share my (limited) experience with others and to gain further skills myself.
