Laptop with foot.

My new Rebel XSi came today, but I didn't get much time to play with it, so I don't have a very good picture to show for it.  This goes in the category of just wanting to get something posted before bed.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll have more time to try out the new camera and lens.

Connected.

Tonight I was in Portsmouth as usual on a Monday but I was on assignment this time: I pledged to get my friend George reconnected to his wireless.  He switched from a DSL connection to cable and *POOF*, his wireless router stopped working.  The router merely needed to be reconfigured for cable.  Once I had done that, we tested it to be sure it was working; here he’s already logged into Netflix adjusting his preferences, happy as can be!  He let me know that my next assignment will be bringing over the right cable so that his streaming Netflix movies can be watched on the larger TV in this room.  I probably could have done this tonight but each time I visit him, it’s good dinner and hearty laughs all night.  The connection can wait!

This was shot using ambient light.  The light sources are the warm incandescent bulb behind George and the cool blue light coming from the LCD screen.  Blue light is not flattering for portraits (neither is an ultra wide angle lens!) so I used the Channel Mixer to desaturate the color.  This method of desaturation offers control over each of the color channels.  Here, I want the blue light on George’s face to be bright, so I gave most of the emphasis to the blue channel.  

Here’s the original from the camera if you’d like to see this shot in not-so-great color. The greenish warmth in the room is due to the camera’s auto white balance correcting for the blue LCD light. The room can be easily corrected in Photoshop, but it makes the light striking George much bluer. Black and white to the rescue!

PS: Channel Mixer: Custom preset, Gray output, Red: 10%; Green: 40%; Blue: 50%; Monochrome
PS: Smart Sharpening: 180-1-Lens Blur
