It was in a lovely old narrow street and I thought that it would make a great background for some shots of people going about their business, walking down the street. So, I crouched down at one side of the street and waited. I took a number of shots but this one, with the contrast between the woman and the clergyman, appealed to me (see the original image below).<\/p>\n<p>The main problem was that the woman was in bright pink dress, which was very distracting so I decide to try a \u2018monochrome\u2019 image \u2013 just bringing out the clergyman by adding a bit of colour.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, I used Transform to straighten up the verticals. The image was then cropped to a square format. This was followed by Nik Glamour Glow to add an air of unreality. Viveza and White Neutraliser were then use to get the lighting and tones the way I wanted them. The overall slight brown appearance was achieved using the Nik Paper Toner filter, using a layer mask to bring back the colour in the man. There followed a series of Viveza, clone and paint layers to make the detailed adjustments I felt the mage needed. Finally, it was sharpened using High Pass Filter.<\/p>\n<p>This image has had 7 International acceptances including the Sydney International Exhibition of Photography 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon D700, 28-300mm lens at 28mm, ISO 560, f\/3.5, 1\/250sec<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-524\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Lifestyles-original.jpg\" alt=\"Lifestyles-original\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Lifestyles-original.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.davidfcookephotography.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Lifestyles-original-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This was taken on our trip to Rome in July 2012.
