Cigar and photography

[barney_rebel]

Let me know what you think:

on the b&w photo, i would try to bump the highlights to bring out the smoke a little more, maybe crop it a little more to emphisize the cigar and not the human. the last photo i would convert to b&w and leave only the flame and the foot of the cigar in color, bumb the mid tones and shadows to bring out more detail, and play with the DOF (use a glausan blur mask) to once again, bring the emphisis on the cigar. if i had photoshop on my work computer, i would mess with it for you. take care...Rob

Will do - this is exactly the kind of response I'm looking for.

Not: "Hold the cigar further away from the flame, you idiot "

Man... after about 6 or 7 beers that night... it was near impossible to even light the thing

This was my 15 year high school reunion. I impressed the hell out of my grade 10 biology teacher. He expected me to have some cheap cigar (no him failing me that year did make the world end for me )

I only get compared to "The guy from the tv show where he runs a law office out of a bowling alley", so take what you can get. Very nice pics by they way, I'm a big black and white fan.
