If you follow my Pic 4 Today posts, you know how rarely I post a people pic. I do take them, but they tend to be family record shots of significant events, and the occasional personal portrait in a unique environment…a visual memory of a particular person, a particular time, and a particular place…neither of which I would normally share. This shot is both. Grandpa (my wife’s father, my children’s grandpa) at his informal family 82th birthday celebration. As a portrait, it just about captures the man (or that is what I think. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As an image, it is interesting as well. It is one of my first shots with my new Sony NEX 3NL and it’s 16-50mm zoom (24-75mm equivalent field of view). Natural light at ISO 3200. 1\/15th second hand-held at f5.6 at the long end of the zoom. I am impressed! I did some basic processing in Snapseed on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, and then some finer color correction for the too warm incandescent lights using the Color Curves tool in dev.macgyver’s Photo Edit. Even at that high an ISO, it holds up well under magnificaiton, and would make an excellent 8×10 print. Not bad at all. <\/p>\n

And now, undoubtedly, back to the regularly scheduled program of nature shots! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
