I just wish I hadn't sent my shot so soon since this morning I found this:

Someone is watching...

It's raining, cold so I thought of doing a little close-up portrait.

Have a great day.

I've got an eye on you.jpg

This person has been a faithful customer for over 30 some years. She is a pillar of her community and has given me tons of referrals. I did her portrait for my book project last year but was not happy with my shot. So I try again. Either I moved or she did, cause the shot is a little blurred. So I resorted to the use of filter (dry brush) to cover up my mistake.
D700, 1/40s, 24-70 @ 2.8, iso 800.

Beautiful photos, Marcel. Your piano people must be really happy with their portraits. do they get to see them?

Thanks Helene, only some of them get to see the pictures. I'm just collecting them for now and really want to put them into a book or binder of some kind. Not sure if I'll be able to publish it, but this is my original intention.

Future will tell...

Day 183, July 1st

Well, I got a surprise today. We drove to Maine for a day of sun and sea and I had taken my D90. But, I forgot the battery in the charger…Duh. So I had to use my little Canon powershot to do my daily pic.

I sure missed the file from the D90.

Glad to have the D90 with a battery back. Went to pick our strawberries and got these children cajoling the farmer's dog.

The first piano person of the day suffered a stroke 2 years ago and is just starting to play again. I really like his hands in this pic. The backlights are blown but this is it:

And she was camera shy, had to insist and ask 3 times before she agreed. I'm glad I did. I like the light on her face.

This truck looks like it's going backwards at 50 miles per hour, how come? Is this a photoshop effect? I like it anyway.

No, it's just a slow shutter speed. Contrast and saturation + little filters added for effect.
