I just came across this a minute ago and thought it was worth referencing.

This was taken in bright sun light using a Lensbaby. I wanted his hairline to blend into the distant hillside. In the RAW file there is much more detail in the shadow that became distracting. In Lightroom, when i brought in my shadows and darks it got heavy. Then I brought in the blacks and it got rich. Then I converted to grayscale and split toned. He was wearing a white shirt that that was too “hot” so I doubled processed the RAW file and and used the darker one to mask in a more underexposed version to balance it out.

Part of a three part series of a man and his Rolls.

This image was made as part of a story about Don Wehr (of Music City) and his vintage Rolls Royce. I used a Lensbaby to achieve extremely tight focus and let everything else really blur out. I processed it B/W because the car was black, the hood ornament was silver and any other color would just be a distraction.
