When the future is right there in your hands, will you ever need to look back?
Digital vs print, who wins for you?
Selfie.
This is left hand, palm side between 2nd and 3rd digit (you can see a ring), backlit with an LED torch. You can also see some veins in the top finger which I'd not noticed when doing this previously.
Sometimes I think that it would be worth exploring taking macro abstracts of different parts of the body. But there are two obvious problems though.
First, the only person in the house that would put up with such a project also needs to be clicking the shutter.
Second, how on earth do you get rid of all those Wrinkles of Wisdom? (By the way, I'm still waiting in the hope that the Wisdom will turn up real soon - the wrinkles have been here for quite a while now.) And in any case, why do you think I chose the palm-side?
This was another idea that turned out to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. It was a task and a half to take, trying to compose and focus in the dark, trip the shutter and keep in the same position without moving (Ed: that's what same position means, surely?)... This is the best of about 20 - it took that long to get a half-workable technique.
For Smile on Saturday "Let it Glow!" theme.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy smiles for Saturday!!
[Tripod mount. LED torch back-lighting. Manual focus. Delayed shutter. High auto ISO, as small an aperture as I could bear.
Processed in Photolab 2 for the Prime noise reduction.
Cropped in Affinity Photo to get the main diagonal bright line going through one of the corners but still have the two other diagonals showing lightly.
Sharpened using Unsharp Mask and High Pass/Linear blend. Reduced clarity to soften the textures and noise.
More denoise.
Dark vignette.
I've discovered that because Flickr uses 8 bit jpegs rather than 16-bit pngs and there is a very limited colour range in the picture, the red gradients don't work as well as they might, particularly on some of my devices :(]

Just screwing around with some Ogrum masks in LDD. Thought chaining them together would create some interesting texture.
