Javanese Lady Portrait

Here is another enhanced image of the Javanese lady I shot the other day…

Let me share you some photo tips on this shot and enhancements done.

Shot using Canon EOS 60D + Canon EF 50mm f1.4 @ 1/100, f1.8, ISO 100. Av mode, cause I’m a lazy photographer. Who says manual is the “only” way to go? =D

Lighting all ambient. (Thank god for the good light)

Enhanced with a little trick with “graphic pen” filter found in Photoshop. Edges are burned to create fake vignette, and a little texture. Overall photo was sharpened using Unsharp mask.

Greens were removed, added a little noise (arty, else everything looks fake).

Well, try it out. Share with me your shots, and who knows, maybe I’ll love them too! =)
