Can I take your picture?

  1. I'm wondering how you got this effect. Were you at about 18mm? And how did you get his head (and the whole outer/upper edge) so hazy? Maybe just angling the camera with a really low f-stop? It looks like Andrea might just walk through some portal and end up at Hogwarts! It's a neat effect.

  2. True 16mm (full frame sensor), f/8, 1/60, ISO 50. meter partial.

    I know this 16-35mm L lens creates fisheye like distortion when angled, so used it to an advantage in this shot. B/C it was so bright, I sacrificed DOF for motion blur knowing it would be easier to soften the static background, then it would to create motion blur in software.

    I would have liked a little more sky around his hat, and can do it in CS4, but would rather have gotten it right at the time of capture.

    Used Photoshop CS4 and Nik Software.

    Thanks for modeling Andrea! How was Hogwarts?
