Skull [Canon 5D]
Coopers Union, Maine August 12, 2008
(click in the image for a larger version)
This shot was made with a very cool 14mm lens that was loaned to me by Steve Inglima of Canon (thanks, Steve!). Canon is a major sponsor of the Maine Media Workshops and Steve was a guest when I was teaching there last month. He brought several items of Canon gear that he loaned to students. On this day my class went to the abundant and eclectic Elmer's Barn, the mother of all antique, junk & collectible emporiums. I knew that such a location would be the perfect place to test drive a super wide lens and I had a lot of fun shooting with it that day.
This shot was processed exclusively in the new Camera Raw 5 that is a part of Photoshop CS4 (Adobe announced CS4 a couple of days ago and it is expected to start shipping in the next month). I made use of the new Adjustment Brush to selectively darken the top part of the skull and the areas around it. There is also a trace of sepia applied to the highlights. (the original image with no edits is below). See my previous post for more information on some of the new features in Photoshop CS4.
