Collection:Unconventional in March and April Camera:Ricoh Caplio R4 Location: Statuary, Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Vic. Austral Date: Mar 8, 2009 Aperture: F4.8 ISO: 351 Shutter: 1/104 Date Uploaded: Mar 12, 2009
This is a blurry portrait of a man who took way too long to read about James Russell Thomson. I wanted a photo to back up some information about one of the statues I was Photographing, but ended up shooting from one side.
Sharpen, brightness/contrast,transform distort ( to correct distortion) this lost part od the edge of the plaque so I gave it a new one - canvas size, filter gallery chrome on selected border, painted it with low opacity colours selected from plaque, resize, stw.
But it turned out very cool! It has kind of a texture/overlay feel to it. I think it is much more interesting than had he gotten out of your way and you had a clear shot of the plaque :) Before, it was a plague. Now, it is photographic art.
You had a different intent when you shot the picture, but you ended up with an interesting way to take a portrait. I like it when things work out that way. :)
