[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
here's a shot that i wanted to share with you, one that has a lot of post processing :)

if you notice the shovel or the 'spade', you can see that the light in that region differs from the left side of the frame... now thats because right above the shovel, there was a big square window, and it seemed a bit too distracting, so i HAD to 'fix' it...

and thats the tricky part, because i hate to 'doctor' my photos and make them look like something different from the original... and in this case, i hated removing the bright, blown, pure white window frame in the left region of the frame... :(

some healing brush and clone stamping did the trick, though not as neatly as i'd have liked it... but still..

i even thought of going for a 6x7 crop, losing the right side of the frame, but then the photo was looking incomplete...

i applied a film filter using alien skin's exposure plug-in, to achieve these strong tones :) but the frame remains original, no cropping there :) shot at iso 800 with 2.8 aperture to allow more light to pass through the lens :)

...and just in case you're wondering where it was taken... well the answer is 'inside that small restaurant', and those lanterns are lit at nights as electricity is very scarce there :)

thanks for reading and thanks for viewing :)

let's see what you think of this one :)

me gustan todos los detalles de la imagen, puedes adivinar una historia en ellos, el desorden de los mismos, juega un papel muy importante. Me gusta el resultado en B&W.

un saludo,
Enka
