Description
I really wanted to photograph someone sitting on this bench, but I was the only one around. For what it's worth, my butt got snowy after four takes!

And because I'm sure the question will be asked at some point: the answer is no I wasn't working at the time, I was on my way home =)

    How do you use Photoshop to create the black and white background?
  • Jim Ritchie

    John, I don't think he had to do anything with this photo other than just snap it...I was out on the streets that night

    John,
    In Photoshop I duplicated the base layer (the original image) and removed -- or masked out -- everything but the likeness of myself. Then I was able to modify the colors of the background layer independent of the subject.

    Add to that a little all-around sharpening and some by-hand vignetting of the corners, and this is the finished product. It took about an hour all together.

    Another EW classic!

    To be honest I barely like selective desaturation, but this one really rocks. The lighting is also very nice.
    I've just posted it in my tumblr

    I am new here and I was wondering if you could tell me why my account keeps logging out? Is this normal?
