January 11, 2012 – A year of portraits – Hayden Terry

01.11.12 Hayden Terry

Tonight while waiting to cover Congressman Ed Whitfield speaking at Madisonville City Hall I spotted Hayden Terry trying on Mayor David Jackson’s chair for size and captured this image as my portrait of the day. Hayden’s grandfather, Phil Terry was once Mayor of Madisonville and when I asked Hayden if he had the same plans for his future, he informed me that wanted to be a veterinarian. His dad, P. T. Terry said he just wants him to go to college and be happy.

Camera was my Nikon D700, 1/160th at F.6.3 with my 18mm lens. I probably would have picked a different lens, but it was on the camera for the congressman’s picture and I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss the photo. The ISO was 4,000.

Post processing today was done in Photoshop CS5 and I also applied the Clarity filter in Topaz Adjust for the final look of this portrait.

Good friend Gina Munger captured me at work photographing Hayden Terry and shared her picture with me. Photographers can’t complain much when they get their picture made since we’re always photographing everyone else. Thanks Gina…
