I must say, I'm rather proud of this one. Gonna have it printed up as an
18x18 inch print for my wall to commemorate my boy's 6th birthday (I took
these shots on his birthday).
He did most of this himself actually, it all started with me just asking him
to stand there so I could prefocus on him for some shots I needed to take of
myself for the newspaper. Well, he started showing off, and I liked the
light so I directed him a bit, and snapped away. Gosh, my boy really is
growing up, he is even developing little muscles! lol...
Post processing and black and white conversions in PS, of course... I have
purposely left some texture in the background for effect rather than totally
blowing it out. Not sure how it appears on other people's monitors, but I
have worked very hard to selectively adjust levels and curves for individual
parts of these shots to ensure that no highlights are blown. There should
be texture and detail evident in all of the body parts. The only pure white
should be on the backdrop.
