I prefer "pensive" or "contemplative." She's deep, this one.

Ben, do you shoot automatic or manual settings? I'm just getting into the manual settings on my camera and am trying to learn more, especially by viewing other people's work. I like the contrast in this one. Did you photoshop it any to get the contrast here, or shoot it like that? Thanks!

In shots like these you can get a sense of what Trixie is going to look like as a young woman. She's stunning.

I'm not sure what impresses me more about today's TPOD: The satellite overhead of the location, or the fact that you haven't had a TPOD from your home in the last two weeks.

I agree,,,"gloomy" describes the last few tpods...she looks SO much older here, like 6 or 7!

Melissa: I normally use manual settings, but B/W shots typically need help in Photoshop. This is because most consumer grade digital camera sensors (including mine) can't capture the full dynamic range of values (especially shadow detail). I use this recipe to improve my B/W shots. If you don't have Photoshop, it's basically a more sophisticated version of adjusting the brightness/contrast. Hope that helps, and good luck.

Oh my goodness, Ben, that shot is absolutely amazing. I think it is my favorite artistic TPOD. And Trixie is positively stunning.
