October 2025 - The Parasol Vendor
About the Image(s)
While wandering around the Renaissance Fair with a few other camera club members I came across this parasol vendor. I liked the colors and patterns of the parasols and the fact there was a customer making a purchase. The original shot seemed too much like a color photo for a Renaissance Fair image. I processed in ON1 effects to give it more of a grunge look and hopefully more fitting in with the feel of the festival. Also used Lightroom adjust shadows a bit.
Canon R5, 1/500, f/7.1, ISO 500. 36mm.

This is an incredible travel piece, Bruce. There is nothing here to give us any indication that this isn't in some exotic location. The single customer adds an intimacy and I love the treatment you've given to the image. This really exudes the emotion and mood of the scene. Posted: 10/20/2025 01:15:47
Like Andrew, I thought this was in an exotic location. I think that means your grunge look succeeded. Well done!
I would have enjoyed seeing the original image so I could see exactly how your treatment effected the image. Posted: 10/26/2025 02:09:53
