I wish I could tell you more about this guy, he was quite a character, but he didn’t speak any english and there was nobody there to translate. We met him on the penultimate day of our Faces and Places Photo Tour to Oman, and was happy to pose while a few of us shot his portrait. I took 39 shots and in 37 of them he looked a lot more serious - varying from disinterested, to stern, to distracted. For frame 38 (this shot) he laughed at something that Bobbi said to him and I ended up with a much better shot as a result. Which kind of goes to show, if you don’t engage with your subject, then they probably won’t engage with you. So, thanks Bobbi :) (via Chromasia, Faces and Places, Oman #3)

David Nightingale is a master of post production. While he did a lot of work on this photo to increase the drama, he knew how not to overdo it. Also, if you click through to his blog, Chromasia, you can see the original, which is a useful feature. (via photoblog: “a flip #2”)

“bodygraphia #13” by David J. Nightingale at Chromasia I love the mood and the contrasts in this. Those curvy lines are pretty cool, too. David is a master of post-processing. Visit the post and roll over the “show the original” link to see what he did with just a couple of curves adjustments in Photoshop.
