Thanks to all who commented.
One of the things I have been missing from my work over the past few years
is that I am unable to do black and white.
The digital camera sees in colour, I can't help that.
I also can't seem to help 35 years of indoctrination into a particular way
of seeing.
My photography has been primarily B&W my entire life, and I have been
struggling with colour since I bought the istD.
I was determined to master the colour end of photography.
I'm not so sure if this was such a good idea.
The black and white conversion was done purely out of frustration. I had an
image which should have been good, but it sucked, plain and simple. I
desaturated it in the RAW converter, and viola, I had an image that I could
live with.
Bruce, she hates that picture.
Norm, she is already spoken for, though I think you two would make a good
match.
Gonz, she has a really bad complexion, blowing out the whites was
deliberate.
Even with the extra exposure, I had to do a gaussian blur layer and some
work with the healing brush to get rid of the blems.
I made an 8x12 print of the file at work, and it is quite nice. There is
still, in the print, some detail showing in the teeth that is not visible
on my monitor. I suspect photo paper does better than monitors with detail
at close to base white.
Notwithstanding, I miss my darkroom.
Tim, Marnie, Frank, Cotty Tom C, Godfrey and Dave, thanks for looking and
commenting.
If I missed thanking anyone, sorry.
I'll post a few more pictures from this shoot once I come up with a
suitable acronym for the subject line.
