Carol's ACP Fund Raising Page Carol training for a marathon. She runs marathons to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for MS.
A foggy morning here in Connecticut. I got the idea to enter this when my wife came down stairs dressed for her 20 mile training running. It was pretty soupy out and the idea lightbulb went off. I went outside, asked her to run past me at full pace and I would try and do the rest.
I am really not sure how this will do as I usually try to make images as sharp as possible with lots of USM and tripods etc, but I quite like this image and so does my wife, so that is good enough for me! Predicted score: I have no idea but... 5.5-5.8
Processing: Shot in RAW, opened in CS2, adjusted exposure, increased luminicity, save. Opened in Elements 3.0, noise ninja to smooth out image, but with high contrast and high USM, adjusted levels (r,g,b), adjusted brightness/ contrast, adjusted hue/saturation. performed noise ninja again to smooth image. Save for web. Opened and adjusted hue/saturation. Save.
