Sepia Senior Portrait in St. Petersburg

DateThursday, April 22, 2010 at 2:08AM AuthorJason Collin

High School Senior Maria posing with a jacaranda flower in downtown St. PetersburgA large jacaranda tree resides in downtown St. Petersburg next to the Museum of Fine Arts.  Its bright red blossoms fall to the ground still in full possession of their dignity, making for prize souvenirs for passersby, or the random senior portrait shot.  As you can see the tree has been defiled with carvings.  Someone declared their love in a large heart upon the poor trees vast trunk.  Perhaps now in hindsight I did a dishonor to the tree for using the carving in my portrait.  I will make it up to the jacaranda tree the next time I see it.  

How I made this shot:

  • Nikon D300 with Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
  • f/11 ISO 200 1/30th
  • strobist:  Nikon SB-600 Speedlight on light stand to the above left of frame
  • processing: Aperture 3, Color Efex Pro 3, Photoshop CS4, sepia in Silver Efex Pro 3
