This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
April 10, 2009; Day 343.
It’s In His Tattoo.
This is my friend Jeff, officiating at tonight’s “leather night” which turned out to be a really informative and entertaining evening. Even I donned a leather vest and boots tonight to be in the spirit of things. Jeff tattooed the names of his sons on his arms so naturally I shot him from his better side. :~)
This is strictly ambient light. There are two sources here, the very blue overcast skies that you can see on the wall to the left, and the incandescent floods overhead. The camera’s auto white balance corrected for the blue lighting which made Jeff very orange. I think if I had set the white balance from a gray card then he would have been much cooler. Personally, I do like skin tones to be a little warm.
Raw: Color Temperature: 3300K; Tint: 10
Raw: Fill Light: 20
Raw: Saturation: 6
PS: Curves adjustment for additional contrast
PS: Smart Sharpening: 180-1-Lens Blur
