Camera Review


	Camera Review ---- Another shot from the PDN PhotoPlus Expo that was held in NYC just before Superstorm Sandy wreaked her wrath on us. ---- The little girl in her (photographer) dad's arms is clearly a budding artist, and she has her own Expo registration (see the lanyard around her neck) to prove it! Here she is shown checking out a new camera. The vendor is on veritable pins and needles awaiting her endorsement. ---- I used Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 to convert to black and white and then, I THINK I used a TOPAZ Adjust 5 filter to achieve the look of a faded painting. ---------- Michelle Alton

The step before: NIK Silver Efex Pro 2.

Bill's hand is imploring me NOT TO MISS this shot!

I was surprised to learn that NIK had been acquired by GOOGLE! What an odd acquisition, I thought.

What a darling capture and I love your treatment here, Michelle! Have to agree that Nik and Google are certainly a strange pair.
