Dan Perovich's Cyberfront Property

1/6 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400, 7.9 mm  Tonight I hung out with my good friend over at his place.  Our significant others headed into Washington, DC to see a live appearance of a Real Housewife of Atlanta.  Us guys figured we should hang out too.  I brought the Leica point and shoot with me in hopes to find something fun to take a picture of.

Something fun wound up being Reese, their minpin.  Reese was a great subject, both sitting and laying quite still in her bed while I invaded her personal space with my camera in macro mode.  The backgrounds of all the images were quite distracting.  To address this issue I took the approach of over saturating the subject and applying a vignette using Topaz Adjust and Lightroom.  This helped to draw attention to Reese instead of the background.  The preset in Topaz Adjust smoothed out the image too, almost making it look like a watercolor painting instead of a photograph.
