30-seconds hand-held exposure with ND10 filter and toning in Nik Colour...

[Andrew Cotterill]

it looks a bit sinister, as we can't see the eyes... but otherwise I like it. The blur adds life to the shot, as if it is moving. and I like the tones.

 

[Brian Moore]

I like it. It looks like something off the Shroud of Turin.

But the shirt collar and jumper steal the edginess off it. Try it starkers, Hottie Scottie. (From shoulders up only, if you please.)

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Kind of other worldly...I like it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Brian - that made me smile!

Thanks to Glenn and Andrew as well.

It's just another test shot. Might be interesting to do a mini series of portraits this way...hmm...

 

[Stephen McCullough]

There you go again with that Turin Shroud filter.

I think it's an interesting shot. I'd like to see more.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Stephen. I must copyright that filter! Though I can't imagine it would be a big seller

Yes, there is something about this shot I like. Not sure what, yet.

 

[Glen Roberts]

I like the way you've done this Rob. On my laptop screen it looks like one of them 3D pictures you used to get.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good point, Glen. A hologram. I think you are right.

Hologram!!! That's the word I was looking for[doh].

 

[Pete Askew]

I like this too Rob, it has a certain intensity to it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a few more long exposure shots in a week or so.
