About the Image(s)
This is an actor in the role of Escamillo in a production of the opera “Carmen” in which I was in the chorus. I shot this from the wings on Stage left during the performance. I used Topaz for denoising and sharpening and cropped in. Because this was a dark seen, I did dodging to lighten his face and hands. I added a 3 pixel white stroke to define the image. This was a modern production of the opera--Escamillo was a star quarterback not a bullfighter.. Nikkor Z7 Nikkon 28-75mm ’2.8 at 75 mm ISO 1600. 1400

Nice and sharp with good detail. This is a hard shot to take with the lighting used in theater. Perhaps you could select the face and do some color correction to make it look better. Posted: 11/27/2024 16:57:21
Bob: This photo really captures the viewers eye. Your patience in developing the shadows/lightening set the tone and add to the beauty of the image. A well executed plan that certainly does this photo justice. Posted: 11/29/2024 17:36:50
