Arefin

Arefin was facing some problem with his Java programming class. So he came to Raquib to solve the problems. So when he entered our room, he noticed that there was box type of thing with lots of plastic straws glued into it. It was the DIY Grid I made some days ago. Naturally he asked me what it is and I showed him what it is. This lead to an impromptu photo shoot.

After several shots, I changed the settings and told him to look down. The resultant shot was this-

ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/200 sec
Aperture: 13.0
Focal Length: 85mm

Everything considered, this was a less than okay shot. So I had to use photoshop to make it more interesting.

I opened the raw file in photoshop and increased the aperture, contrast, clarity and vibrance. Also changed the white balance. Then transfered it to photoshop. There cropped it using 4:5 ratio. Then duplicated the layer and applied screen from blending mode. Here is the result-

Still I was not satisfied. So duplicated the screened layer again. And applied some Gaussian blur, changed blending mode to overlay and set the opacity to around 40%.

I liked what I saw. And thats about it.
