Challenge: Update Your Avatar (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-600D/T3i Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Location: Hampton, Virginia
Date: Jan 14, 2012
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Black and White, Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Jan 14, 2012

 For those who don't already know, I LOVE books.

This self portrait actually didn't require much in the way of editing. I took two exposures in the same location and merged them, added a few layers of color and mixed channels on greyscale. I also added a vignette and burned my shadow in photoshop. I was in the shade, so there wasn't enough shadow in the original to make it believable.

The lens flare was not added nor was it an error in post production. =)
