A Little BBQ Action

I was down in Angleton with a friend last week and we went to a BBQ place out in the middle of nowhere. The cook was a most interesting guy. After talking to him for a while, he agreed to be photograph. I took several photos of him but this was my favorite because of his friend in the background. He was heckling everyone in the place.

Enjoy.

Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 at 100mm shot at ISO 1,600, f/8 and 1/90th of a second.

Post Processing:

Lightroom—Set black and white points.

Photoshop—used nik Color Efex Pro tonal contrast filter to add a little contrast to the subject’s clothing.

  1. Love the look that you are getting and how entertained the guy in the background appears to be. Good environmental portrait.

  2. Just goes to show that every photo doesn't have to be a work of art to tell a story. Nice environmental portrait.

  3. Great contrast to what you have been showing us over the past few weeks. Like his expression.

  4. Looking at the photo I feel like he is about ready to ask me what I want. Think it works as an environmental portrait.
