New Treatment

I retreated the last photo from the Corrina Keeling post.

I basically eased up the unsharp mask and upped the contrast. I think I like it a lot better now.

Corrina Keeling

Woah, I'm updating? No way.

A couple of nights ago I shot my friend Corrina Keeling at The Opera House. Really cool chick who puts on a really good show. And, in addition to being a singer songwriter, she's also a dancer as well as a photographer. You can check out her stuff here.

Anyway, back to the shoot. I suck at planning ahead. I knew exactly when the show was over a month ago, but totally forgot that it was coming up until a few days before (Facebook had to remind me. I'm a good friend). As a result, I didn't manage to save any money/make any time to go out and rent glass faster than f/4, so I had to make due with what I had.

The first one is probably my favourite one from the night. I was super lucky that it turned out this well, considering I shot it at 1/20 of a second. Thank you, image stabalizer.



And here's one where I really wished I had that extra stop available. It came out pretty soft as she was in the middle of moving. I brought it back a little with unsharp mask, but that resulted in a lot of grain. Still, I really like the shot, so I'm posting it anyway.
