Dan Perovich's Cyberfront Property

1/40 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400, 9.3 mm  This was sample cake number three for my fiancée and me.  Unfortunately, we are still not happy with the proposed cake.  The ratio of cake to gnash to icing is off.  We are going to go back to the drawing board and try a few other combinations before we make a final decision.

I thought I would have at least a couple of interesting pictures today.  However, upon reviewing them in Lightroom, I found that I did not like the look of any of them.  The Leica D-Lux4 that I shot all of the pictures with today seems to be introducing a lot of noise into the pictures it takes.  I guess the room was darker than I thought it was because at f/2.8 and ISO 400, the camera selected a shutter speed of 1/40 sec (I was in aperture priority mode).  But at ISO 400, I thought the D-Lux4 would be less noisy.  Maybe I just need more practice.

When I am not feeling any of the pictures for a certain day, I start to play around with applying presents and using Lightroom or Photoshop plug-ins.  I used Topaz Adjust for today’s photograph to arrive at the final image.
