what i wanted to create was a photo that could be interpreted as either sad or happy... is the subject waiting merely for someone to show up (an early arrival perhaps), or is he waiting for someone that is to never show... part of the reason that the subject is aimed away from the camera is to hide any sort of emotion... the all black clothing is there to increase the feeling that this is just a silhouette.
maybe not the best art style photo, but give me some time... i may get better.
So, this photo was taken with the Nikon D90, ISO 200, f/2, 1/13 sec. Brought the photo into Apple Aperture to work with the photo. Cropped to square to remove trees on the right hand side of the frame. Made some tweaks to the exposure (bought it up just a tad), changed to a monochrome image using the orange filter option, then converted to a color monochrome using 60% intensity with a brown color. Then cloned out a power wire that was in the distance and there you have it...
waiting
thanks for stopping by.
