The Daily Shoot 121

For Tuesday, March 16 (#ds121), the Daily Shoot assignment was “Today's theme is ‘3’. Make a photograph that features the number itself or otherwise represents 3 items.”

I was determined to take a photo outside today (sometimes I think it’s cheating to do too many staged photos inside). But what? I was stumped, plus my lunchtime was curtailed because of a delayed conference call. In the end, as I was leaving to go to rehearsal at 6:30pm, I saw a road sign that I’ve seen a bazillion times and decided to go for that. It was getting late, so the lighting wasn’t that great.

So, all in all not a brilliant photo, plus I was shooting into the sunset to a certain extent. It’s also fudged with to reset the white balance, to crop and straighten it, and to sharpen it all (I use the Clarity setting in Adobe Lightroom to sharpen). A bit scrappy.

I'm a programmer by trade, an actor by ambition, and an algorithms guy by osmosis. I write articles for PCPlus in my spare time, not that there's much of that.
