Baguette in the Street
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:34 pmWell it's been a while since I've shared any images, and to be honest I haven't shot a lot of new stuff and I'm still sorting through my Europe shots, so here is one that I've done some pretty extensive work too I'd be keen to get any feed back on it.
I've been hanging out a lot at Redbubble and I definitely feel like some of the artists ideas and style are starting to rub off as my approach to processing has been for want of a better term more agressive and by that I mean the final result doesn't have to necessarily reflect the original image, which up until this stage has been my standard approach to photography and image making.

And here is the general speil, followed by the original.
Paris has to be my favourite city for people watching, there are so many styles, fashions and personalities found on the many streets of Paris, it was a joy to wander around and take it all in. I found this gentleman enjoying a baguette on the sidewalk (pavement or footpath depending on where you are from). Something about him really captured my interested so I fired of a few shots. When I got back, something was missing from the original scene and I wasn’t sure exactly what so I’ve played around extensively with layers to build up the affect you see, some doding and burning, motion blur and playing with the curves and levels. Overall I’m very happy with the end result which I think adds something the original was missing.
