January 6, 2012 – A year of portraits – Bill McReynolds

01.06.12 Bill McReynolds and Daisy

Today’s portrait is of Bill McReynolds and his dog Daisy.

I’ve known Bill for several years now and stopped by his home this afternoon to get his help in identifying a flower that I was running in today’s paper. The weather has been so unseasonably nice for this time of the year that some are starting to bloom already. Bill served in the United States Air Force during the mid-50’s in the medical field and after leaving the service worked in the forestry field for a good part of his life and is always in the know about plants and so forth, so he was my go to guy today. I also wanted to look at some of the flowers that were in bloom around his house to see if there was anything better than what I got of a Phlox in bloom.

As I was leaving Bill and I were talking about this and that and I noticed his flag in the background and captured this shot of him and Daisy as we talked.

Photo was shot with my Nikon D700, on Matrix Metering at 1/250 sec at f/4 with an ISO of 640 using my Sigma 24-70mm lens (at 36mm). Post processing was done in Photoshop CS5 with some slight levels adjusted and the Topaz Adjust filter Clarity was applied to sharpen up the photo.
