February 3, 2012 – A year of portraits – The Maroon Mop

02.03.12 The Maroon Mop

Today’s portrait is of the Madisonville-North Hopkins High School mascot who has been the Maroon Mop as long as I can remember, probably dating back to when I was in high school there in the early 1970’s.

Photo was processed using Photoshop CS5 with some burning done to tone down the edges. Afterwards I applied the Topaz Adjust Filter called photo pop to finish off the processing.

Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 @65mm
Exposure: Matrix Metering, 1/500, f/2.8 with an ISO of 4,000
File Type: Nikon RAW

    Tracey Conrad came up with the Maroons Mop. She recently passed away and never got credit for her design. I wish people could be told of her creation just so we could carry on her name and love for the school. Th a k you for your time.
