Tea Time

Description

I took this photo at a recent Civil War reenactment. This is the preacher's wife enjoying a good book and cup of tea. I eliminated the background and then laid a texture from French Kiss over the image in two layers: 100% multiply and 50% color. I erased the texture from her skin and partially from her clothes and the table.

Canon 100-400 at 260, F8, 1/320th sec on tripod.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 250, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 260.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
