One of the few thousand photos I took at Miss America this past spring... I was proofing an order and saw this one, its the moment that changes lives, had to upload it.

Plug -> (http://coverthis.smugmug.com)

Its not my best one of the set, oh no oh no oh no... But I can up one a day, get set to see some of the best. :-D

Its been straightened, cropped, leveled, highlights dropped, shadows raised, sharpened, resized, the works.

Didn't use flash, couldn't for the better part of the show, and when I could it didn't matter, I only have on camera flash... Crappy... But, at some points (at the end) I was able to use other peoples flash (booooooo) as they went off as my shutter opened... Stage lighting.. Sucks... At this point I was on Auto WB...

Yes I got one of her looking at me, but I like the profile better... What ya got for me?

PS: Someone mentioned the DOF. The girls are a good 50 meters or more behind her, and she is a mere 2 in front of me. I really had the best spot in the house. :-D

Hi Michael,
I love how everything is sharp and clear as a bell in this picture. Did you also blur out the other women behind her? Great job producing a fantastic image!
Thanks for sharing,
Leanne
