Day 1 of January Portrait Side challenge. I am going to be posting mostly candid types and more informal portraits this month. I hope to post at least 8 to 10 this month.
This is my wife Carol. We were having lunch with the kids at our favorite place in Woodstock VT. The light was good - all natural streaming through the window of the restaurant - and my wife seemed to glow in the light. This is probably my most favorite portrait I have taken of my wife ever...
Editing: Adjusted levels, curves, added a small amount of noise ninja for USM and smoothness. Converted to b/w using hue/saturation. I brought up the lightness of the reds and yellows and dropped the lightness of the other channels to improve the contrast. Minor cloning on skin in neck to smooth out a bit post conversion to b/w. USM post resize for web.
