September 10th - Friday SP

I took today's SP early this morning, about 7:30. I was pretty happy with the effect of the early morning sunlight, at a
low angle, and the orange-red tint it cast. Obviously you can't see the color here, but that color gave a soft glow (ok, it's
blown out...) to the B/W. I did adjust the levels a little to bring in more contrast in the background, I wanted to even out
the balance between dark and light.

I think the addition of cheap sunglasses finished it all off nicely!

UPDATE: Ask and ye shall receive! Jude MC asked about the color version, so I've put it up here.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/60s f/20.0 at 41.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
