Yeah it's me again, giving my male models a break :-) The Daguerrotype was a Victorian invention and the Victorians loved hunting. So why not have a Victorian woman posing with HER trophies....which may or may not include a husband or suitor, as seen in upper right corner?
Tripod with extension, flash pointing up and back to bounce light, camera on timer. Location is Diablo Manor in Spencerville, owned by my friend magician Scott McClelland. The sword is actually a ceremonial Masonic sword but I had the blade bevelled to better catch the light. Wearing a semi-Victorian blouse, my opera cloak, black leather gloves, hair over one shoulder. Was originally in a braid but looked too uptight so I let my hair down, hehe :-=)
pp: shot NEF, convert to DNG, adjust exposure, resize, clone, dodge and burn, desat, NIK with dust&scratches filter amongst others, save for web
