October Photo of the Month
“Playground Portrait” – Kim Arnold
October’s POTM was “Playground Portrait” from Kim Arnold. The set subject for this month was Bokeh and Kim achieved a lovely balance between the sharpness of the subject and softness of the background. Kim used her Nikon D80 with 50mm fixed lens, ISO 100, f 1.8 at 1/640, with the white balance set to open shade. The photo was converted to black and white in Photoshop Elements 6 using convert to black and white function with sliders, slight increase in contrast and sharpened.
