...& she wants to keep it until then. I told her that may not work. ;)

No she is not part of my 100 faces project. As a matter of fact, she is the face that I go to sleep and wake up to every day...my beautiful wife Lipika.
I've been of late experimenting with a few post-processing techniques. I wanted to get the bleached effect as seen in movies along with a lens flare to give my portrait a cinematic feel. You'll tell me whether this effect works.
I'd also like to make a special mention of my newly acquired Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM lens. As you can see in the exif information below I shot this at 185mm with a shutter speed of just 1/20th of a second - handheld. The stabilization works fantastically on the lens; the details are sharp and I love the bokeh! Anyone looking at this lens should definitely consider it!
As always all your valuable comments are very much appreciated!

Lens: Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM

Suzy and I are doing another theme: gratitude. A whole month, in fact, of reflecting on our blessings and that for which we are thankful. And, I have so much to be thankful for! It will be hard to choose what to post. What a wonderful dilemma!
But, the first subject was easy to choose. Had to be my better-half. He calls himself "the other-half", but in truth he really is the better-half, for so many reasons. A good man all the way around, with a very kind heart, and a giving soul. We've been together for a long while, through thick and thin, and he still never ceases to surprise, amaze, and make me laugh.
Here he is displaying the familiar, "Ok, get it over with," obligatory photo pose and smile. :)
Ant, thanks for humoring me! Thanks for making sure I remember to stop and have fun. Thanks for getting me into photography (big time!). And, well, thanks for everything. I'm so grateful. And, so fortunate.
Wishing you all a wonderful week, and many, many reasons to be thankful.

Another little bit of test shooting. I think I've almost got what I was looking for. Just a few minor tweaks and I'll be cool. That's the biggest reason I'm not using this for my 52 week project... (yet) We'll see how the weekend goes.
Hope everyone isn't getting too tired of the wife....I know I am...
JUST KIDDIN BABE. Everyone be nice to her, she's been sick :((

but not forgotten...
her headstone reads..."Devoted, loving, caring, best friend and wife"...
We noticed the truck pull up but didn't pay it or it's driver much attention...we were shooting the Confederate Soldiers' monument...did catch a glimpse of him unloading and carrying those new colorful spring flowers to her...his "best friend and wife"...we assume, anyway...as he stood there and had a moment with her, the reality of what he has lost came over the both of us...this simple act he was performing just spoke volumes...loud and clear...take advantage of the moments you have...the smiles you share...the time you are given...

Don't ask me about the sudden light falloff on the left. I can't remember what caused it : (
Raindrops kept falling on her head but Deru didn't care much. She was patiently waiting for meat from Heaven.

Been looking for that sweet #80s lookin' #incrediblehulk #candyhead everywhere. Saw it in abundance not long ago but I'd always find an excuse for not picking it up. Only when it was super hard to find it amongst the sea of #captainamerica and the unwanted funny lookin' #ironman #candyheads I began a frantic search for it much to the dismay of my #betterhalf ....#lol #thrillofthehunt
