Pushing Forward Back
Pushing Forward Back - 6.8mm at f/2.5, ISO 80, Shutter speed 1/160sec
I took this photo in the summer of 2010. I was actually trying to take a good photo of the bike seats, but sometimes you come across individuals that are only a few decibels away from crying out to be photographed. I think this guy was working at stall in Camden Market and was busy talking to another seller when he spotted my camera and made a beeline for the fame. I mean frame.
It was one of those images I'd taken, with my Leica D-Lux 4, but was stuck with a ridiculously large amount of contrast due to shooting in the shade and catching the sunlight in the background. So anyway, it's taken me all the rest of summer and autumn to process it. ha.
Now onto something I had nothing to do with. Something on the topic of composition in photography. Pierce Martin has created this really cool infographic of the Fibonacci Sequence (which is very closely related to the Golden Ratio & Rule of Thirds, and used heavily in photography) and asked me if I'd feature it on this photoblog. You can grab a full scale copy of the infographic at http://www.onlineschooling.net/fibonacci-sequence.
I've tried to export the Silver Efex Pro preset for this image I processed, more times than i'd care to remember. For some reason the plugin won't display the list of presets in the sidebar. I've restarted Photoshop. It's crashed. I've restarted my Macbook Pro. Nothing. I'll post the preset soon when things start to gel on my system.
