We popped down into Commercial Road in Portsmouth this morning so that we could play around with some mobile phones as we're both approaching the ends of our contracts and could do with an upgrade (the wife will probably go with a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray running Android and I'm going to hang on for the Nokia Lumia 800 running Windows Phone 7 if you're interested).
Naturally, the camera came with me in order that I not miss anything interesting and there was a solitary piper busking to the passersby that caught my attention. I've processed this in the way that's currently appealing to me, creating three exposures from a single RAW file, tone-mapping them, adding a little burning, and finishing with a little urban acid layering.
