'Old Woman at Monywa' - Zelinda de Cruz AIMS...
Apparatus: Nikon D610 on aperture priority
During a recent trip to Myanmar, we stopped off at a cave complex on the road from Mandalay to Monywa. This old woman was outside just whiling away the day waiting for her photograph to be taken! Assuming the person is a willing subject, I so enjoy shooting portraits and throughout my stay in Burma there were many brilliant opportunities to do portrait photography. Manipulation: This is one of the first images I have converted to black and white. I did very little to the image in Lightroom: slight crop, removed a couple of distracting whisps of hair, adjusted the black and white points and boosted the contrast slightly. Was actually pleasantly surprised how the bokeh turned out which makes her really stand out nicely from the background. |
