boredom (20)

this is a photo taken without any thoughts or purpose. that day was our portfolio review day. meaning a day where we display all our work and wait for lecturers to criticise, give marks and also discuss....we're not allowed in the room when they are discussing. design is very subjective, and biasness is not a big issue here, so this is how the university try to promote fairness, by the display of work to all lecturers of the faculty.

i was sitting on the floor, extremely bored, waited for 3 hours and they are still in the room....my friend, Salina, sat across me and she was fed up too, we did not sleep the night before so everyone's in a foul mood.

i just took my camera and took the shot, took lots of other shots of legs and shoes. this one i like most, because of the way the light seems to wash pass her.

the photo was not in focus and very grainy so i tried my best to touch up. i applied a little diffuse glow to one level, adjusted curves, sharpen, readjusted curved, played around with some more filters, and ended up with this.

this is actually my first attempt at taking shots like this. how do u guys like it? does it look over exposed? i just love the whiteness, hope it's good for u too:)thanks.

This was very quick! If I had more time I could do better. I just selected all non edges and blurred them. Hope you like it. :) JP
