This guy looks like he's ready to sprint to the nearest metal recycling plant. He's a diver who had a lot of copper and stainless in his cart.

I overlooked this shot until I cropped it tighter to focus on his expression.

Great way to wake up from the Doldrums Cos! I like the tonal gradations in this photo, what PP did you use? OK, when you say diver, you mean a dumpster diver?

Crank the fill, crank the recovery, slide the blacks pretty hard to the right. Some colour manipulation to bring out the details.

Kelby did a thing on trying to get the dave hill look in LR a while back and I tried it with black and white. I can't see a difference between them and my old B&W drug store 35mm film.

None at all. All Lightroom 2.0 then to Cs3 for the framing.

Excellent photo. Is this the same dude who was clipping his toenails in another shot another thread, or am I just tired?


...But still the clever north wind was not satisfied. It spoke to her of towns yet to be visited, friends yet to be discovered...

Same guy on probably the same day. I took the other photo when I was on a walk with Cos and The Hoff. He went through some limbering and warm up excercises before he clipped his toenails. Strange man....
