March 21, 2012 – A year of portraits – Charles Hughes

I spotted Charles Hughes tilling a garden spot in Sturgis, Ky this afternoon and captured this portrait of him as we talked. He’s been planting a home garden for many years and with the unseasonal warm spring had started doing so a bit earlier than usual.

Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8
Exposure: Matrix Metering, 1/400, f/10 with an ISO of 500
File Type: Nikon RAW

Post Processing
Photo was processed in Photoshop CS5 where I cropped the photo and toned down the background and lightened up his face slightly due to the back lighting of the portrait.
