This image was shot in one of the squares in Savannah, don’t remember which one. It is a composite of two images, one of the fountain and one of the top of a trash can in the square, inverted and blended in CS5. Just seemed like those two objects wanted to go together in one image. Don’t you just love the live oaks, so majestic.

While wondering around the streets and squares with Wes in Savannah we ran into “Guitar Bob”. Bob is a street musician and friend of Craig’s and has modeled for him many times. Craig’s images of Bob are always strong, powerful portraits so I was a bit hesitant to take any photos of Bob. Somehow I overcame that fear and took some photos anyway.

For you photo geeks: ISO 1600, f/10 @ 1/100 with a Singh-Ray Soft Ray filter to spread the highlights and soften the shadows. Post production in CS5 with Nik Color Efex Pro 3 using Tonal Contrast, Paper Toner and Glamour Glow. Craig said he couldn’t wait to tell Bob I used Glamour Glow on him. Maybe it’s a good thing I am no longer in Savannah???
