01.12.12 Marlene Moreland
Meet, if you haven’t already, Marlene Moreland, she’s responsible for the snow that appeared in our area today. Marlene works at our front desk of The Messenger and anyone that knows her is aware of the “Snow Dance” she does every year that brings the snow to town, or at least that’s the story our recently retired editor Tom Clinton started telling everyone over 15 years ago. It’s been said that you can catch her sometime on our loading dock doing her dance and I can attest to that fact. So, you can see why she had to be my portrait of the day, since this is the first real snowfall we’ve had this year. Plus she’s got a great smile and always gives it away to our customers and staff alike.
Camera was the Nikon D700, Lens, Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 at 46mm, Exposure was 1/250sec at f/2.8, with a ISO of 4,000 with matrix metering. Post processing was done in Photoshop CS5 with a mild color correction and the Topaz Adjust filter called ‘Photo Pop” applied to sharpen up the image.
