Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: School Days: Music (Basic Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Art Building
Date: Feb 13, 2007
Aperture: f3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50th
Date Uploaded: Feb 13, 2007

 Guessing this will need verification.

How I got the hands in the border: Camera is set on a tripod at normal height that is below a projector hung from the ceiling. I'm standing almost directly against the projector screen with my hands reached way out (both up and out towards the projector) so from the camera's perspective, they break the border of the projector screen because my hands are reached out into the light coming down from the projector screen.
ok, you probably didn't need that explanation, but there you are =).

Editing:
Raw Shooter Essentials:
Color temp, tint, exposure compensation, fill light, shadow contrast, highlight contrast, hue and converted to JPG.
Photoshop: crop down the bottom, left and right (WITHOUT using perspective cropping this time), little bit of levels and color balance. Then added a black border on all but the top edge (.6333 on bottom, 1.266 on left and right), cropped a bit of the new border, little change in levels, size to 640, USM.

Zoomy, Hey congrats on a great top 10 6th place finish! Now who is the composer? Time to head out of the Art Building and over the Music Building to learn to play this piece on the piano. I notice a few changes in time signature, always a fun little surprise for musicians! This just may be your highest Spokane photo to date! Lovely!

Was being shirtless necessary? Well, I think I actually like it better that way. Good job.
