Description

This sparkling footwear was photographed in the Spring of 2013 in a shop window in downtown Philadelphia. I've been manipulating the image regularly since then, first with TOPAZ black and white, and subsequently it was used for experimentation with every popular filter and plugin in my "tool kit."

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 12800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 115.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
